Beatrix Fontaine ran from her stepmother for a very good reason – if the Queen Regent discovered Beatrix is a powerful healing witch, the kingdom would hunt her.
So it’s best to run first, correct? That was the theory, but when the inexperienced Beatrix runs into the very experienced, handsome, and calculating thief, Darian Gram, things get tricky. Darian’s a runaway himself – from the law, at least. Oh, and from family and friends – anyone foolish enough to have ever lent him a cent. With enemies that could fill one of those newfangled steam dirigibles, his best chance has always been on his own.
But when a certain doe-eyed powerful witch wanders across his path, he can’t help but indenture her. Taking what he wants comes naturally to Darian. But so does trouble. When they find themselves, ironically, on the kingdom’s flagship dirigible packed with enemies and spies, they must unfortunately work together. It’s that or die.
And Darian can’t die. Beatrix’s contracted never to let him. Worse, all too soon, he steals her heart, and thieves like Mr. Gram never let you go once you’re theirs.
