The fifth in award-winning author Bec McMaster's steamy and innovative steampunk romance series. When her father was assassinated, Lady Aramina swore revenge against the Duke of Caine. Leo Barrons, the Duke's heir, has long been her nemesis, and when she discovers he's illegitimate, she finally has leverage against the one man who troubles her heart and tempts her body. Sentenced to death for his duplicity, Leo escapes by holding Mina captive. A woman of mystery, she's long driven him crazy with glimpses of a fiery passion that lurks beneath her icy veneer. He knows she's hiding something, he doesn't know it's the key to saving his life.
