Ship of Dreams

Captain Temp Strud knows the value of a secret aboard a ship, especially when the information belongs to her passengers. In the skies above an alternate 1898 London, a mission to recover a powerful ancient object forces her into cooperation with Minty, a rival pirate captain. Temp needs Minty's abilities, while Minty's freedom depends on a woman she has little reason to trust. Their pursuit of the Golden Apple attracts competitors whose plans could have consequences far beyond the two ships. This steampunk fantasy romance combines a dangerous treasure hunt with the shifting balance between adversaries, as attraction and necessity draw the captains together while withheld truths threaten to pull their alliance apart.
