Clockwork Courtesan

Revenge. It’s what Adette Johnstone has been thinking of for years in the bleak world that is a dystopian, neo-Victorian Los Angeles. Now the one person she trusted – the woman who took her in, cared for her, and educated her – has placed Adette in the hands of a murderer. Adette must seduce Icharus DeVille, the man she blames for her mother’s death, or risk punishment for defying the headmistress. As she treads a dangerous line between personal duty and desire, unsure of the headmistress's grand plan, Adette will need to use all her wiles to avenge the loss of her mother, and keep from losing her own heart. *Warning: This is a steampunk/dystopian erotic story suitable only for adults.
