Off Kilter

James Kilter has few illusions about himself. Maimed in a boiler accident when young and routinely reviled by those he encounters, he's no prize for any woman. He's content working security for a good friend until he sees Catherine Delaney disembark from an airship one May afternoon. Her fragile beauty calls up all his protective instincts. But will she accept a monster as her defender?

Having traded her own safety to save her young sister, Cat Delaney has landed in the hands of a ruthless, wealthy man who intends to use her as a pawn to his avarice. Alone in a strange city, she has nowhere to turn except to the very man hired to keep her from running. Can she trust James, with his ruined face and crusader's spirit? Dare she give him her heart?
