Ardour: An Erotic Steampunk Story

About this book

Welcome to a city of towering steamscrapers, drifting skyislands and a lawless, fog-choked gutter below, where only fools set foot after dark. In Lucy Wild's Ardour: An Erotic Steampunk Story, a resourceful scraper dweller is once again summoned into the night by her friend Jared, who always seems to call on her whenever a new body turns up. This time the corpse is far more important than anyone could imagine: Edwin Gauge, founder of Gauge Industries and the richest man for leagues around, lies dead in the gutter. A would-be assassin with a single eye and a fusegun gasps out just one word before he dies: Ardour. It is the name of the city's most notorious music hall, the only place where the rare and dangerously potent liquid ardour can be found. With a secret to keep, a stolen entrance stub and a mysterious steamcrate spanner in her pocket, our heroine and Jared head for a night on the tiles, where pleasure and danger are never far apart. Packed with inventive steampunk gadgets, a sultry atmosphere and a mystery that pulls you along, this short erotic novella is perfect for readers who love their romance with brass, steam and a little menace.
