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
Two:
She
nibbled on her lower lip, a curious habit she had. When she was
indecisive, perhaps? Then she drew the necklace over her head, giving
it to him. He placed the coin flat in the palm of his hand, and let
the chain dangle through his fingers. It was bronze or brass, with a
strange sequence of numbers and letters. He furrowed his brow. Alice
bent over and used her finger to push her glasses firmly back onto
the bridge of her nose.
"It's
some type of alpha-numeric code," Grayson mused out loud.
Alice
looked on, a murky expression on her face. "Perhaps."
Grayson
looked up. "I've seen a similar code on the datamancers they
introduced in Parliament."
"What's
a datamancer?" she asked.
He tried
not to get lost in those soulful cerulean eyes of hers. "You
don't know what a datamancer is?"
"No."
"It
thinks for itself--"
"Grayson,
what's in your hand?"
Grayson
and Alice turned in the direction of the door. Sir John briskly
walked toward them escorted by a soldier and another gentleman
Grayson recognized as the prince's secretary.
