\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A menacing letter,
a dashing detective –
she cannot stop in her quest for justice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emme firmly believes that shape-shifters <\/a>have the same rights as every other person – most of those transformed for 3 days by each full moon are no danger to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detective Oliver Reed has arrested the young woman more than once in London during her protests against new restrictive laws, and Emme’s so-elegant stepsisters are dismissive of her new role as regional spokesperson for the International Shape-Shifter Rights Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the ISRO Summit in Edinburgh nears, Emme receives a credible death threat, Detective Reed is assigned as her bodyguard, and near-accidents become frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is trying to stop Emme from speaking at the Summit?
Can Emme and Oliver deny their growing attraction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fascinating steampunk world<\/a> of automaton, airships, vampires, and Tesla lights, with a smattering of story elements from the Cinderella tale, this August 4, 2020 release stands on its own among the author’s ‘retellings’ under the Proper Romance banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are you standing up for the rights of the oppressed?
