Please enjoy this exclusive excerpt from A Tale of Two Thieves, book 1 of my forthcoming steampunk romance quartet! *** Welcome to the world of A Villainous Affair, a sensational steampunk romance saga about villains and heroes, rich and poor, science and justice, and the breathtaking power of love. The tale begins with an unlikely pair of thieves who cross paths on one fateful day in a poverty-stricken metropolis.... Once upon a time in Victorian London, lowborn thief Ruby Darling rescues Nathan Harlow, a gentleman fugitive inventor on the run from his murderous uncle. Nathan must prevent his groundbreaking aether device from falling into the wrong hands, while Ruby craves wide-scale social reform to help the country's destitute people. To ensure mutual success, they strike a deal-her protection in exchange for his technical wizardry to achieve her goal of conquering England. But Ruby has one condition-their partnership will end as soon as they overthrow the Crown. With millions of lives at stake, she can't let friendship or romance derail her mission. Nathan agrees even though he's already hopelessly in love with her. A new identity will help shield him from the authorities, so he proposes a fake marriage. Impressed by his sensible idea, she agrees. Ruby is dirt poor, so first they need to amass a fortune and build a criminal empire. Meanwhile, the League of Vigilance-a citizen anti-crime force led by the intrepid, poleaxe-wielding Eleanor Marson-is on the hunt to capture Nathan and return him to his uncle's evil clutches. The stage is set for a thrilling adventure as Ruby and Nathan Darling embark on a fantastical journey to gain unrivaled power in the underworld and beyond. Yet navigating their unconventional relationship proves just as challenging as their wildly ambitious mission, with many treacherous waters ahead of them.
