Quicksilver

"A sassy, smart, not to mention stunning, lady of the night and the irresistible R.O.B. Agent sent to protect her heat up Victorian England in this page-turner!" This is the... climax... of Asia's story.

After years of working and living in a brothel, I-Asia Quicksilver, the orphan who was named after a continent and a chemical element-finally have a respectable job that doesn't require me to shed my clothes. But am I happy as the housekeeper of the elusive Mr Evander Lynch? Not really.

The pay is great, the job is easy, but every time I'm close to Mr Lynch, odd visions of us together flash through my mind, as though I'd met him before he hired me. And I feel this cursed tug in my chest that pulls me towards him. But does he spare me a glance? Not at all. Until I stumble upon the remains of a mutilated corpse in an alley...

Suddenly, Mr Lynch becomes very protective of me. Which is jolly good. Because the maniac who killed those girls months ago is back... and just because I'm no longer at De Luna House doesn't mean I'm immune.

Note: This is the conclusion of Book 1 in The Royal Occult Bureau Series, a deliciously steamy paranormal gas-lamp fantasy series for adults. This isn't a stand-alone novel.
