Publisher's Synopsis
Kanko Chukwui always thought himself to be better than everyone around him. A prodigy in pharmaceutical science, he got his doctorate at only 24. It's clear to see what drives his ego, especially at his workplace; Esson Industries, one of the world's largest medical machinery manufacturers and medicine producers. Having only one friend and a non-existent social life, Kanko never wanted to become attached to someone. However, all of that changed when an injured, amnesiac person appeared at his doorstep, begging for help and a place to stay. Kanko had no choice but to adapt to his new living situation, learn to become attached to others again, and help the man remember who he was.
Of Steam and Smoke is a somewhat sci-fi, somewhat paranormal LGBTQ+ romance novel, featuring POC and disabled characters. The romance is between a scientist and a Victorian-Era automaton, and how they manage to navigate becoming sudden roommates.
