London Harcourt is an intelligent young widow brimming with anticipation to start a new life. When, she discovers and translates some tracings of an ancient language in her father's office, she is finally getting her chance as her father's translator. Bennett Day is sworn to protect magic from the Heirs, those who would like to use it to conquer the world. When London and Bennett cross paths in Athens, Greece, the attraction to each other is immediate and the adventure begins.

I picked this up because it was on a steampunk shelf at B&N. It's not so very steampunk as it is very steamy, but I still really enjoyed it. There were a couple of times where I was shocked but it's pure smuttiness, but it was a really interesting story and I liked the characters a lot. I think anyone who is interested in magic, historical fiction and smuttiness will enjoy it as well. :)
