Excerpt:
“If you want to, just say the word.”
“How did you know I wanted to dance?”
Ian leaned in, blocking out the cloying smells of cigar smoke, powder, and various perfumes with his own cologne, a citrus scent reminding her of fresh oranges and sitting outdoors on sunny days. “You’re tapping your foot in time to the music.”
“It’s catching.” She inhaled sharply as his arm circled her waist.
“Yes, even more so when you’re on the floor.” He guided her toward the center of the room and twirled her around to face him.
Like the night before, the motions came effortlessly. His hand on her waist, her hand atop his shoulder with their opposites clasping. When he moved, she followed, gliding across the floor, a smooth experience compared to the previous night’s practice in her heels. These floors were polished until gleaming, so slippers moved smoothly, and boots didn’t scuff.
She let herself get lost in his arms, just as she had during practice, except this time, she focused her attention on his cravat, his fancy tie covering up the thatch of hair she’d seen behind it. For a moment, she’d been afforded the chance to forget her past, the opportunity to be a woman dancing.
They’d traversed the entire floor and were on a second pass when the song changed. Miss Sonne launched into a pretty round of verse and encouraged the guests to begin the waltz. Sorella let Ian lead, moving her without challenge. “You’re very good at this, in case I didn’t properly compliment you before.”
When Ian didn’t respond right away, she snuck a glance at him. Instead of gazing at her, he eyed the stage where Eva Sonne was performing. “All right, I got her attention.”
Foolishness had struck again. Her damned, fanciful thoughts never led to anything productive.
“How do you know?” she asked, angling her head to the side to get a glimpse of the canary herself, shaped like an hour glass, a white mink stole draped over her shoulders and short black hair framing her face in the latest style.
“She tugged on her ear.”
Sorella scoffed, not bothering to hide her irritation. “A little obvious. Anyone could catch that signal.”
“Oh?”
She had his attention now.
He pulled her close, definitely closer than dance rules called for. His warm breath caressed the shell of her ear as he whispered, “What would be your signal?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Her lips near his ear lobe, she nipped it. Anything to make him feel as vulnerable as he’d made her.

Book Blurb:
Once Upon A Time… 
Sorella Corvino lost her brother to The Cursed years ago. Sorella is so determined to find him, she’ll make any deal, rescue the outcasts and those like him, and risk flying into any port to rescue him. When her latest pirate efforts partner her with a bounty hunter who’s too charming, sexy, and handsome for his own good, she knows she’s in trouble.
Ian Marshall no longer believes in fairy tales…
Disowned and a marked criminal in the United States, this merchant turned bounty hunter, is one bounty away from freedom; and freedom’s price is handing over one person to the most cutthroat gang in the world, The Cursed. Yet, he can’t get to them without Sorella’s help. Too bad she’s gorgeous, aggravating, and a little trigger happy.
As the attraction mounts, the danger grows and the pair find themselves invading a skin trader den, the ballrooms of dictator-ruled Germany, and fighting battles in the sky in the hopes of getting everything they want. Only thing they didn’t plan on… falling in love.
