Badlands

After a brutal Civil War, America is a land divided. As commander of her nation’s border guards, Ever is a warrior sworn to protect her country and her queen. When an airship attacks and kills the monarch, Ever must infiltrate enemy territory to bring home the heir to the throne, and the dirigible Dark Hawk is her fastest way to the Union.

Captain Spencer Pierce just wants to pay off the debt he owes on the Dark Hawk and make a life for himself trading across the border. When the queen’s assassination puts the shipping routes at risk, he finds himself Ever’s reluctant ally.

As they fly into danger, Ever and Spencer must battle not only the enemy but also their growing attraction. She refuses to place her heart before duty, and he has always put the needs of his ship and crew above his own desires. Once the princess is rescued, perhaps they can find love in the Badlands—if death doesn’t find them first...

About the Author

At a young age, Seleste discovered that the trick to not being afraid of the monsters under the bed was to turn them into heroes. Since that time, she’s seen more than enough of human monsters that she prefers to escape into worlds where even the demons have rules to play by and the good guys might end up battered and bruised (or dead) but they always win.

Currently residing in southwest Michigan with her husband, two kids and her fierce, attention-hungry slobber-monsters, she’s hard at work on her next book. And, in those rare moments when she’s not hunting vampires or rogue clockworks, she can be found online at
www.selestedelaney.com
or indulging in her addiction to Facebook and Twitter.
