Isla may be a mermaid princess, but she’s never felt at home in her undersea kingdom. Instead she dreams of the day her people can return to the surface—and the boy whose life she once saved. But while Isla foresees danger for her people beneath the ocean, she has no concept of the dark forces working to keep her people submerged.

When an impetuous vow sets her on the course of the truth, Isla discovers that shadowy foes beset the kingdoms of both land and sea.

“Eros Element”
Book One

An ancient energy.
A daring expedition.
Two misfit scientists in a race against time…

Iris McTavish always wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps. But when his sudden death leaves her household on the brink of ruin, she may have to choose an unwanted marriage over her passion of archaeology. To save her house and prove her worth, she embarks on a mysterious and dangerous expedition…

Edward Bailey’s strict scientific code holds back his anxiety and heartbreak. With his professorship and his department in danger, however, he realizes he’ll need to find the secret to turning unstable aether into limitless power to keep himself afloat. And for once, Edward can’t do it alone…

As Iris and Edward seek out hidden clues, they’re hunted by clockwork spies and a shadowy society. During their dash across Europe, the misfit explorers must work together to crack a worldwide energy crisis and discover the truth if they want to stay alive. 

Eros Element is the thrilling first book in Aether Psychics, a series of Victorian-era steampunk adventures. If you like puzzling mysteries, incredible inventions, and a touch of magic, then you’ll love Cecilia Dominic’s high-spirited series.

“Clockwork Phantom”
Book Two

Everyone wears a mask. But the deadliest secrets hide in plain sight. 

Every spellbinding performance extracts a piece of actress Marie St. Jean’s soul. But trapped in Paris during a Prussian siege – and her mother’s theatre – she has no choice but to take the stage. Then a ghostly spirit promises to fix Marie’s affliction – for a price. 

Marie’s other problem – her attraction to alluring violinist, Johann Bledsoe, a temptation she dares not explore, particularly as the phantom grows jealous.

Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, murders and revelations from the past drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what really lurks below the stage, and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets—and surrendering to the Eros Element in a way that could push them to the edge of madness.

“Aether Spirit”
Book Three

Forgetting her is impossible. Remembering him could kill her.

Left with partial amnesia after a steamcart accident, Claire McPhee tried lengthy treatment for the mental and emotional trauma. Now armed with her own training and medical degree, she helps others with combat-related neuroses hoping, she’ll someday—somehow—fill in her own blanks. Particularly the elusive memory of a man she once loved.

Something about the new medical chief triggers her painful, hypnosis-induced blocks, but he keeps pushing her away before she can shove through the barriers to determine why.

Chadwick Radcliffe has faced many challenges since assuming the position of medical chief at Fort Daniels, but facing his former love—and the knowledge that her memory of him could be deadly—pains him the most. While he’s had some preliminary success using the Eros Element, he’s all too aware its unintended effects could harm as much as heal.

With the Union on the cusp of caving in to the Confederacy’s demands, time becomes a precious commodity. Ghosts rise. The Element takes on a new, unpredictable aspect. And resurrected love could give Claire and Chadwick unexpected strength—if they have the courage to break the chains welded around them to seize it.

“Aether Rising”
Book Four

The only place to hide could be behind the truth.

No one can lie to Louisa Cobb. It’s her gift. Her curse. Unfortunately, her stepfather forces her to use it to help him gain the upper hand in business. Comfortable in her luxurious lifestyle and high society position, she hasn’t minded. Until now. 

Louisa wants nothing to do with her newest assignment, Patrick O’Connell, the Irish tinkerer and scoundrel who stole a kiss—and her heart—years ago. Problem is, if she betrays her stepfather and sets Patrick free, she’ll be cut off without a penny to her name.

Patrick knows he is captured because he invented a device to stabilize and direct the mysterious Eros Element. It’s also why he can’t lie, especially while looking into Louisa’s sky-blue eyes. If he fails to recreate the device for Cobb, his closest friends’ happiness will be at risk.

Back in Boston, Patrick stalls for time while Louisa uncovers secrets of her tragic past. It forces the two of them to engage in a treacherous dance on the edge of love and danger. A tango where one wrong step could condemn them both to everlasting heartache—and unleash an unimaginably powerful force that could destroy their world.

Devon eyed me with a rueful smile. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say you were doing the ol’ spill wine on my shirt so I’d have to take it off trick.” 

The last place Kristin wanted to land her first accounting job was a theater.
The last person she expected to see there was her first heartbreak, Devon Dashner.

A gallon of hair dye and a decade of practicality are enough to disguise her identity, but Devon’s boyish personality and constantly shirtless body has Kristin wanting to work his payroll between the spreadsheets all over again. 

Torn between rejection and her desire to avoid living out of a cardboard box, Kristin sets out to do her job and keep her identity, and her libido quiet. Except there’s a problem.

Bared Secret
Book Three

Kristin fills her time at the Plaisir De Rouge with accounting formulas, crazy friends and a perpetually shirtless boyfriend, hot enough to melt chocolate with his smile. 

Now, secrets have been unearthed in the depths of the theater’s basement revealing crime, passion and a few fainthearted friends. To top it off, her boyfriend, Devon has dropped a grenade on their relationship that has her questioning more emotions than a Lifetime Movie. 

Add to that a bit of drama with tumbling twins, a stale detective who seems more interested in Kristin than solving a century old mystery and the matriarchal theater owner Maddi being … well Maddi, and it’s enough to drive a girl to drink. Maybe a stiff one is just what Kristin needs to settle her ping-ponging emotions over her relationship with Devon and begin a whole new chapter at the Plaisir De Rouge.

Kristin, once again steps into the spotlight in this third book of the Curtain Call romantic comedy series. Bared Secret promises all the humor and heat found in Showtime Rendezvous and Stage Bound, plus a secret discovery that adds a dusty layer of mystery and intrigue.
