Book excerpt: Victoria Greene always thought that returning to London would put her life back in some sort of order. The adventure was over, the mission completed, and she assumed she could continue her work with machines in peace, but Vic should have known that such a thing was not possible. Instead, she suddenly finds herself dealing with judgmental Elite, the corrupt High Council, and the certainty that London has deeper secrets than she ever knew. When the Queen of England sends Vic and her men on yet another task of the highest importance, Vic is relieved, if only to escape the city that feels less like home than an airship. But Vic is not the only one racing around the world. The High Council is on their tail, and they have no qualms about doing anything it takes to win. Now, the Lost City of Kásskara beckons, and with Bram, Emory, Jules, and Jed by her side, Vic must find the sunken world fast. There are too many perplexities surrounding the disappearance of Kásskara and no one wants to speak its name. Some cities should never be discovered. Some machines should never be created. Some secrets were meant to die in the past. And sometimes, it is better to follow the compass than the clock. . .

Book excerpt: Victoria Greene would rather spend her time with machines than the high society she comes into contact with in London. She's happy with her gears and cogs, even if that means she will end up a spinster. When her father gets the funding for a trip to the Amazon to search for a mythical jewel, she jumps on the chance to come aboard as the Master Tinker. She expected to work on the massive boilers for the airship and to tinker with her mechanical creatures. She never expected the men suddenly thrown into her life making it even more interesting. The inventor, the cowboy, the scholar, and the dreamer are all intrigued by the woman who comes with grease on her face. But something sinister is amiss aboard the airship and she's determined to get to the bottom of it. Victoria's suspicion rises the closer they get to Brazil and she must figure out the nefarious plans before it's too late. Can Victoria protect them all against the dangers, from onboard and the rainforest alike? Can such an eclectic team work together and find the Temple of the Rising Sun?

Book excerpt: Johanna Adalwolf has spent years avoiding the Lariat Clan and the wolf who resides there. She wants nothing to do with Nicolas Olcan and his playboy ways. With her business on the edge of greatness and an opportunity to enter the Race Games appearing, she can feel success on the horizon. But fate has a funny way of messing things up. The wolf clan alphas will only approve her entry under one condition: Race with Nicolas, or don’t race at all. Now she’s stuck with the arrogant wolf she hoped to never see again, fated or not. The last time they’d seen each other, she’d given him a swift kick in the shins and some choice words, but the Nicolas who appears has grown up. She shouldn’t be giving him side glances and thinking about how things could be different, not with so much at stake. It should have been easy— enter the Race games, win, take home the prize— but it’s clear from the beginning that things aren’t as they seem with the Supernatural Council or The Games. At every turn, someone is trying to stop them from crossing the finish line. The corruption runs deep, and without realizing it, Johanna and Nicolas find themselves in the thick of it. Someone doesn’t want the wolves to race. Too bad the wolves were always meant to run wild. . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natasha Pulley's Watchmaker of Filigree Street captivated readers with its charming blend of historical fiction, fantasy, and steampunk. Now, Pulley revisits her beloved characters in a sequel that sweeps readers off to Japan in the 1880s, where nationalism is on the rise and ghosts roam the streets. 1888. Five years after they met in The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, Thaniel Steepleton, an unassuming translator, and Keita Mori, the watchmaker who remembers the future, are traveling to Japan. Thaniel has received an unexpected posting to the British legation in Tokyo, and Mori has business that is taking him to Yokohama. Thaniel's brief is odd: the legation staff have been seeing ghosts, and Thaniel's first task is to find out what's really going on. But while staying with Mori, he starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons Mori won't--or can't--share, he is frightened. Then he vanishes. Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labor camp in Northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori's, must investigate. As the weather turns bizarrely electrical and ghosts haunt the country from Tokyo to Aokigahara forest, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori's disappearance--and that Mori may be in serious danger. "Wonderful... A lovely blending of steam punk ether science, Japanese historical figures, and a time-defying thriller." Robin Hobb, author of THE FARSEER TRILOGY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love is a weapon. . . Evangeline is used to being sought after. As a star, her power is a deeply coveted prize, but when she finds herself in yet another dungeon, she’s starting to wonder if she’s destined to a life of imprisonment. She only wants to be free, but the worlds are desperate to keep her from living a life unburdened. The Grimm Forest is an entirely new beast for Eva, but none of that compares to the glorious trickster dropped in the cell beside hers. Rumpelstiltskin is a selfish monster, but beneath his illusions and deals, Eva sees a creature worthy of love. Still, there are at least a hundred reasons to ignore the feelings. Things are turning upside down in Grimm and Eva isn’t sure what she can do to help. Locked away in the dungeons, she should be worried about fighting for her own freedom, not about how her heart aches when Rumple looks at her. The worlds are unstable. The darkness is rising. Will Evangaline’s glow be enough to keep her in the light? Or will she lose the very core of who she is to the trickster who dares to call her by name? The darkness is coming to Grimm. . .
