Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to a world where automatons prepare your afternoon tea and magic awaits those who can control it. Alice Parish expects very little of her marriage - a quiet home in the country, a husband she will only have to tolerate on the rarest of occasions, and eventually another child to love. Yet, instead of pointing their carriage toward Scotland, the Marquess of Driscoll takes them to London where airships fill the sky and the Touched are seen as less than human. She knows she should leave, but how can she when Driscoll is waking up parts of her heart she thought dead? Damien Parish knows very little about Society and even less about being a husband, yet he requires both a wife and the ton to regain control of his inheritance. Marrying the Duke of Sidhe's sister seemed the perfect answer to his problems, but Alice is more than just a woman of good breeding. She makes him long to be a better husband, a better man. Their marriage of convenience seems destined to be something more until Alice's past catches up with them. Can they survive the reckoning with both their hearts and lives intact?
