Season of Steel: A Deadly Courtship Romance

"Bridgerton meets Pacific Rim in this sapphic fantasy romance set in a glittering alternate Regency where the London Season is more cutthroat than ever, and a feisty noblewoman must team up with a disgraced ex-mecha fighter to win her own hand and save her family from fortune hunters. In an alternate Regency England where marriage to eligible noblewomen is decided by deadly mecha dueling tournaments, half-Chamorro bluestocking Lady Wilhelmina Applewhite will choose her own destiny, thank you very much. But when her father's death leaves Willa as his sole heir, her hand in marriage becomes the upcoming Season's grand prize. Determined to seize her fate-and protect her little sisters' freedom-Willa shocks the ton by hiring a Bloodsworn fighter to compete for her own hand. Except, the only one mad enough to even consider it is rakish Thomasin Drake, the first and last woman to have ever fought in a Season...until her final duel ended in defeat and disgrace. But if Willa isn't careful, she might lose her most valuable possession-her heart-to Thomasin before the Season duels are over.
