Steel Dominance

This trilogy is available in a single, well-priced volume - THE STEAMWORK CHRONICLES.
A brilliant researcher, Sofia must unravel the ancient puzzle of the Clockwork Warrior or her career will be in tatters. Yet the tomb of the warrior is in the dangerous city of Byzantium, inside the harem of the Emperor. She knew she'd have to pose as a slave-but not that her "owner" would be the incredibly bossy, gorgeous bodyguard she's been assigned.
A life of military duty has left Dankyo unprepared for Sofia. He's never met a woman quite like this. She's smart and beautiful, and she's something that he's finding almost irresistible-despite the way she fights against masquerading as his slave, she's submissive right down to the bottom of her soul. And that's bringing out every dominant instinct in his body.
But even as he realizes she's captured his heart, the city explodes into madness. Surviving seems impossible. Can love and a Dom who will never give up overcome sheer bloody-minded evil?
Warming: Contains kinkalicious BDSM, riveting love scenes, and a dog-like pet companion called Zigzag you may want to take home and cuddle.
