The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook
Iron Seas #1
Seductive danger and steampunk adventure abound
in the gritty world of the Iron Seas, where nanotech is fused with
Victorian sensibilities—and steam.
After the Iron Duke freed
England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Now
Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire on the power — and fear — of
his name. And when a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his
doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous
world, he intends to make her his next possession.
Mina can’t
afford his interest, however. Horde blood runs through her veins, and
despite the nanotech enhancing her body, she barely scratches out a
living in London society. Becoming Rhys’s lover would destroy both her
career and her family, yet the investigation prevents her from avoiding
him…and the Iron Duke’s ruthless pursuit makes him difficult to resist.
But
when Mina uncovers the victim’s identity, she stumbles upon a
conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. To save
them, Mina and Rhys must race across zombie-infested wastelands and
treacherous oceans — and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her
countrymen as she finds herself tempted to give up everything to the
Iron Duke.
