AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Captain Garrett Reed of the Nighthawk guard has a deadly mission: capture a steel-jawed monster preying on women. He hates to put his partner, Perry, in jeopardy, but she’s the best bait he has. Little does he realize, he’s about to be caught in his own trap.

'Perry has been half in love with Garrett for years, but this is not exactly the best time to start a relationship—especially when their investigation leads them directly into the clutches of the madman she thought she’d escaped…'

Notes

Steampunk Note: This story features many of the classic Victorian London settings of steampunk fiction, and the combination of anachronistic technology and fantastical elements further serve to place it within the style. Also notable is the representation of Victorian social life, particularly romance. Finally, the title of the series indicates it is a work written self-consciously within this textual field.
