An actress with a strange affliction.

A violinist on the run so his next performance won’t be his last.

A theatre with a deadly secret…

Once hailed as the greatest actress in Paris, Marie St. Jean is happy to wait out the Prussian siege behind the scenes in her mother’s theatre. But when her mother gives Marie an ultimatum—tread the boards again or she and her friends will end up on the streets—she faces an impossible choice. She can assume a role that will cost her part of her soul or bargain with the ghost of the theatre, who seeks knowledge locked in memories she's repressed.

Marie’s other problem – her attraction to alluring violinist, Johann Bledsoe, a temptation she dares not explore, particularly as the phantom grows jealous.

Johann left disgrace and his gambling debt behind in England, but a fatal stabbing outside the Théâtre Bohème makes him fear he’s been exposed. He’d love nothing more than to claim Marie as his own, but after the siege ends, his past will catch up to him again.

Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, murders and revelations from the past drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what really lurks below the stage, and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets.

Will they have to surrender to the Eros Element in a way that could push them to the edge of madness?

Left with partial amnesia after a steamcart accident, Claire McPhee tried lengthy treatment for the mental and emotional trauma. Now armed with her own training and medical degree, she helps others with combat-related neuroses hoping, she’ll someday—somehow—fill in her own blanks. Particularly the elusive memory of a man she once loved.

Something about the new medical chief triggers her painful, hypnosis-induced blocks, but he keeps pushing her away before she can shove through the barriers to determine why.

Chadwick Radcliffe has faced many challenges since assuming the position of medical chief at Fort Daniels, but facing his former love—and the knowledge that her memory of him could be deadly—pains him the most. While he’s had some preliminary success using the Eros Element, he’s all too aware its unintended effects could harm as much as heal.

With the Union on the cusp of caving in to the Confederacy’s demands, time becomes a precious commodity. Ghosts rise. The Element takes on a new, unpredictable aspect. And resurrected love could give Claire and Chadwick unexpected strength—if they have the courage to break the chains welded around them to seize it.
