COMING 2017
THE HERO WITHIN
As the only healer in a war-stained town, Eden McClain is devastated when the Salt Plague sweeps through the wastelands she calls home. Suddenly she's racing against time to save her people–and her niece–before it's too late. When she hears whispers of a cure, she knows she can't cross the dangerous wastelands by herself to get it. She needs a guide. And she's just desperate enough to turn to a man who once betrayed her.
Redemption comes at a price...
After years of living on the leash of a dangerous psychopath, Johnny Colton is finally free, but that doesn't mean he can wash the blood off his hands. The easiest way to deal with the past? Just stop caring. Which is working perfectly for the rugged outlaw, until a beautiful ghost from the past rigs a trap for him. The last person he wants to see is the woman who haunts his dreams, but as Eden points out, he owes her one.
Each step leads them further down a dangerous path of seduction that neither can quite accept—but are they also walking into a deadly trap? The only way to survive is for two past enemies to learn to trust each other.

Acknowledgments
Writing fast-paced, sexy, paranormal romance is the best fun imaginable, but as with every project I take on, I couldn't have done it without a lot of help from these amazing people:
I owe huge thanks to my editor Olivia from Hot Tree Editing for her work on this manuscript; to Mandy from Hot Tree Edits for the proofread; my wonderful cover artists from Damonza.com for kicking this one out of the park with McClain and those sexy abs; and Marisa Shor from Cover Me Darling and Allyson Gottlieb for the print formatting. To the CVW and the ELE, thanks for keeping me sane, and being my support groups! Thanks for helping me pick which cover to go with, and for all of the advice, tea and chocolates. Special thanks go to my beta readers, Kylie Griffin and Jennie Kew–who ask me all of the hard questions and crack me up with cat references (more than a few in this manuscript!). And to my family, especially my mum, who helped keep me sane in the last few days before Christmas before this book was due. Decorating my Christmas tree was probably not on your list for Christmas Eve, but you don't know how much I appreciate it. But the most thanks go to Byron, who is always there for me, and who helped me out so much during the crazy deadline rush of this book. I couldn't do what I do without his help.
Last, not certainly not least, to all of my readers who support me on this journey, and have been crazy vocal about their love for the London Steampunk series, and anything else I write! I love sharing my books news with you guys, and hearing how much you're enjoying these new dark worlds I've chosen to write!
About the Author
Bec McMaster is the award-winning author of the London Steampunk series. A member of RWA, she writes sexy, dark paranormals, and adventurous steampunk romances, and grew up with her nose in a book. Following a life-long love affair with fantasy, she discovered romance novels as a 16 year-old, and hasn't looked back.
In 2012, Sourcebooks released her debut award-winning novel, Kiss of Steel, the first in the London Steampunk series, followed by: Heart of Iron, My Lady Quicksilver, Forged By Desire, and Of Silk And Steam. Two novellas–Tarnished Knight and The Curious Case Of The Clockwork Menace–fleshed out the series. She has been nominated for RT Reviews Best Steampunk Romance for Heart of Iron (2013), won RT Reviews Best Steampunk Romance with Of Silk And Steam (2015), and Forged By Desire was nominated for a RITA award in 2015. The series has received starred reviews from Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal, with Heart of Iron named one of their Best Romances of 2013.
In 2016, she debuted the Dark Arts series with Shadowbound, the Burned Lands series with Nobody's Hero, as well as the second London Steampunk: The Blueblood Conspiracy series, with Mission: Improper.
Bec lives in a small country town in Victoria, Australia, with her very own Beta Hero; a dog named Kobe, who has perfected her own Puss-in-boots sad eyes–especially when bacon is involved; and demanding chickens, Siggy and Lagertha. When not poring over travel brochures, playing netball, or cooking things that are very likely bad for her, Bec spends most of her time in front of the computer.
