Synopsis
A sexy assassin, a Scotsman, and two lobsters attend a Victorian house party.
New York Times best selling author Gail Carriger brings you a charming stand alone love story set in her wildly popular Parasolverse.
ASSASSIN
Lady Preshea Villentia, the Mourning Star, has four dead husbands and a nasty reputation. Fortunately, she looks fabulous in black. What society doesn’t know is that all her husbands were marked for death by Preshea’s employer. And Preshea has one final assignment.
VERSUS SCOTSMAN
It was supposed to be easy, a house party with minimal bloodshed. Preshea hadn’t anticipated Captain Gavin Ruthven – massive, Scottish, quietly irresistible, and... working for the enemy.
In a battle of wits, Preshea may risk her own heart – a terrifying prospect, as she never knew she had one.
From the bestselling author of the Finishing School series, this story stands entirely on it's own but you can find out what happened to the next generation in Reticence. May include plaid, appearances from favorite characters, and the strategic application of leather gloves.
Delicate Sensibilities?
Contains men pleasing women, and ladies who know what they want and ask for it, sometimes in detail. If you like that kind of thing, you'll probably enjoy How to Marry a Werewolf.

From the Author
Hello my dears,
This is my first novella set in the Parasolverse. It is stand alone, you don't have to have read any other of my steampunk books or novellas, even those in the Delightfully Deadly Series. Poison or Protect is a romance and it does have some nookie, so be aware. It still contains tons of humor and I think you will really love Gavin, and learn to love Preshea as you see her through his eyes.
Preshea first appears as a side character teen in the Finishing School series, but you don't have to have read those books first.
Happy Ever After and completed story arc guaranteed.
Hope you like it!
~ Miss Gail
