A Gentleman and a Rogue
by Stephanie
Burkhart
GENRE: Steampunk
romance
BLURB:
Lady Keira Russell is
destined to bring compressed natural gas to Britain. Her inner courage and
mental toughness rarely falter – except when Prince Edmund Windsor is involved.
Edmund of Wales is from the future. His last jaunt through history muffed up the time line. Now, he's here to set it straight and win Keira's heart.
For Keira, if it isn't one obstacle, it's another. Queen Victoria has sponsored a competition to find a cleaner fuel source than coal. Keira's father is trying to build a windmill and the Ridgecrofts are working with gasoline. Then there's Edmund, whose sensual kisses and heated stares distract her down to her bones.
Keira has a choice: trust Edmund's notorious mischief-making or put her faith in Queen Victoria to make the right decision, but if Keira makes the wrong choice, the future of Great Britain will be changed forever.

Excerpt:
Rex appeared in the doorway, stoic
as ever, with a tray of food. He placed the tray on a nearby table. "The
Windsors are here to see you."
Keira jumped to her feet. Her heart
accelerated in her chest. Alice and Edmund! Heaven help her. She needed to
shore up her willpower when it came to Edmund. Setting her shoulders, she
followed Rex down the hall to the vestibule located just off the main entrance.
Alice stood in a simple blue muslin
dress and fussed with her reticule. She always did her best to dress for
comfort. Edmund wore a brown vest over a white shirt and pressed trousers. His
frock coat hung over his arm.
"Keira!" Alice rushed
forward and wrapped her into a warm embrace. Keira returned Alice's strong hug
with one of her own, realizing she'd missed Alice more than she thought she
would.
Edmund cleared his throat.
Keira glanced up. "Hello,
Ed."
His eyes smoldered with desire.
"Keira."
Oh, his red, pouty lips were like
chocolate -- tempting her to take another bite. She looked at Rex. "Can
you bring appetizers and coffee to my study?"
He arched an eyebrow. "Coffee, My
Lady?"
"Yes, coffee."
A little snort escaped his lips, but
he departed.
