BLURB:
It's
2011 and compressed natural gas has taken over from the coal
producing steam machines of the Victorian Age. Alice Windsor,
Princess of York, follows her mischief-making cousin, Edmund of
Wales, back to 1851 where Prince Albert is hosting Britain's Great
Exhibition.
Alice
soon finds herself over her head in trouble. Edmund is determined to
help Prince Albert build a dirigible and the prime minister appears
intent in preventing her from stopping Edmund. Alice knows it's too
early for the massive flying machine to take to the air. Complicating
matters is the passionate Grayson Kentfield, Earl of Swinton. Alice
can't stop her pulse from pounding when she's near him.
Can
Alice give her heart to a man from the past while working to stop
Edmund from changing history?

Excerpt
Grayson
escorted her to a door on the right, threw it open, and put his hand
on her waist, guiding her inside. A gas lamp burned on a nearby
table, throwing stark, deep shadows into the room.
Her
determined man shut the door and pinned her against it. He plucked
her glasses from her face and threw them onto the table with the gas
lamp. Then he pinned her against the door, placing his hands on the
door next to her arms. His breathing was erratic. The light from the
lamp cast dark shadows over his chiseled features.
"Gray--"
He
stepped closer and lowered his hands, placing one on her waist. Heat
spiked within her and settled low in her abdomen. His hazel eyes
burned with desire. He drew in a deep breath and raised his
forefinger, tracing her lips. Alice closed her eyes, but only
briefly, savoring the gentle touch of his finger.
"You
do wild things to my heart, sweet Alice," he finally whispered.
His finger traced her cheeks, then her jaw.
She grew
hot, yearning for more. Her senses spun from his sensual touch. She
could hardly breathe. "Me?"
"Yes,
you."
"What
do I do to your heart?"
"You
make it beat hard -- fast." He ran his finger down the side of
her neck and traced the 'v' in her throat.
Alice
met the raging inferno in his eyes and nipped at her lower lip with
her teeth. "Is that all I do?"
He
issued a low, deep groan from his throat and leaned forward.
