Mocked by the aristocracy for his eccentricity, his explosive inventions and flying machines, Leeford Gunn is content to let his peers say what they want. So what if he prefers the company of steel, brass and steam-powered machines? So what if his only friends are a quite mad cousin and a vinegary groundskeeper? He cares nothing what people think. Until he meets her. Unfortunately, the most intriguing woman he has ever known was sent to kill him.
