BOLD AS BRASS

Fast Fiction Historical - short romantic stories to take you back in time In 2002, we gave authors from different Harlequin series the same opening paragraph, and asked each of them to write the rest of the story. The resulting innovative and compelling stories found a special place in our readers hearts. So now weve put together a special Valentines anthology of four of the original reads, plus two brand-new endings to Charlottes story! Bold as Brass is one of those new stories, and takes the reader into a genre never before featured in the Online Reads—steampunk! Charlotte Phillips had thought her fiancé, Duke John Rotham, had died in a fire—until she stumbles upon him at a party. Kissing another woman. Charlotte quickly realizes that shes fallen into Johns trap, a twisted plot that threatens Charlotte, her lab partner, Alistair…and their revolutionary invention.
