The Dragon Eye Gem Affair

She was hired to guard a priceless gem - not lose her heart to her enemy. The city of Gravenmore is on edge. The Grey Shadow, legendary thief and gentleman rogue, has returned - and no treasure is safe. Calista Temira's life is thrown into chaos when she's hired to guard the priceless Dragon Eye Gem from the notorious thief. It's the most prestigious job she's ever taken, but when the jewel vanishes on her watch, she finds herself wrongly accused and behind bars, facing execution. Her only hope lies in the hands of Truitt Williams. Infuriating, wickedly clever and inexplicably charming, Calista suspects Truitt might be the enigmatic Grey Shadow - and the one who set her up. But his offer to help seems genuine and his silver tongue has her heart trapped between more than just a noose and betrayal. Calista has no choice but to trust him - but in a city of masked motives, every secret is a risk, every glance a temptation and falling for Truitt might be the most dangerous gamble of all. The Dragon Eye Gem Affair is a gaslamp romance full of steampunk intrigue, daring escapes, sharp banter, and a slow-burn attraction that sparks even in the shadow of betrayal.
