Steampunk Pirate

Kat Wallace has her hands full: three lively children, a floundering marriage to a diplomat who is barely ever home, a commission as an officer in the Bosch Pirate Force, and a driving desire to destroy her past enslaver. None of those things has kept her from her mission to eliminate human trafficking on New Earth.

Kat Wallace’s life is finally on track. She is poised to become the next leader of Bosch. She finally has a path to break up human trafficking on New Earth and destroy Rob Abernathy, the man who enslaved her. And as an extra delight, she is starting to explore love with a man who knows her worth.

All Kat wants to do is run her own life. But it seems as though everyone else has competing plans for her. Her commander of the Bosch Pirate Force wants her to lead. Her husband wants her to abandon her pirating ways. Her mother-in-law wouldn’t mind seeing her dead. And her past enslaver, Rob Abernathy, wants her back. As listeners of A Merry Life know, Kat is fearless, principled, and determined to settle old scores. When a face from her past spurs a dangerous mission, she jumps at the opportunity, unaware that it will have explosive results.
