Bare Aether

New York society is too stuffy for adventuress Sable Tavner. So when she leads an expedition to the northern aetherite mines, she makes sure to get her fill of physical pleasure. She takes it wherever she can get it: banging in broom closets, rutting in alleyways, riding men in remote inns, sneaking off into the woods for a bit of fun. But soon, her not-so-discrete encounters get the attention of the expedition’s tight-laced young financier, who finds himself uncontrollably and distressingly lusting after her.Meanwhile, Sable’s twin brother Sorrell is ensconced back home in his inventor’s workshop, putting the finishing touches on his masterpiece, the Aether Mechanism. But his quiet routine is thrown into confusion when a famous courtesan arrives in his shop with a very unusual commission, and an enticing proposition….Enter a world of lust and adventure, stiff corsets that never stay laced for long, and the discovery of just how useful a well-oiled machine can be—in THE BARE AETHER!
