Armored Hearts Blog Tour: Sample Chapter

Armored Hearts

Steampunk.com is happy to be part of the blog tour to launch Armored Hearts by Pauline Creeden and Melissa Turner Lee.

Here’s the official description:

When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother’s side of the family that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in fairy tales.Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at Waverly Park, left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all because of his blasted wheelchair. Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

If that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, you can read Chapter 4 below, in which the girls go to a meeting of an inventor’s club. And don’t forget to read to scroll down, where there is an entry form for a paperback copy of Armored Hearts and other cool swag!
