Description

Civil War widow Prudence Worthington has vowed to never again be at the mercy of a man. She’s determined to make her own way in the world after being one of the first women to graduate from a business school in upstate New York. In search of adventure and independence she takes a position as a personal secretary to an eccentric inventor and heads to Montana Territory.

Professor Gerritt Rhinehart must develop his newest invention to meet a critical deadline. Someone is willing to do almost anything to stop him, and the distraction of a raven haired beauty he hired as his secretary makes it impossible to concentrate. But he must stay focused, especially when his invention could change the course of the War-Between-the-States.

Discover a rollicking steampunk romance from an award-winning author and 2009 RWA Librarian of the Year. The first book in the Brides of Jubilee series.

Advance Praise

"The author has wrapped a mystery around the story line complete with characters that are beautifully engaging. Stone writes well. Her dialogue is witty, engaging and her scenery comes to life on the page." - Kim Hornsby, Author

"The Professor’s inventions are excellent. We meet his intellect and brilliance before we meet the man, and his machines speak well for him. They are advanced for the period, but not unbelievable. The Civil War, after all, rages on for much longer than it did in our universe, leaving widows, corpses, and new weapons in its wake. This is a delightful book. I do hope there is a sequel in the cards, because I confess that I fell in love with these characters as they fell in love with each other." - http://www.gearheartsmag.com/
