Ashes in the Wind: A clean steampunk retelling of Cinderella (Isles of Miadhra) by Kathleen Bird

She wants to be free…even if it’s just for one night. Lia wants to find a place to belong, where she can be loved and accepted, but guilt combined with her stepmother’s expectations keep her trapped working at the factory and catering to the whims of her family. But when a mysterious man gives her the opportunity to temporarily escape her circumstances, she decides the risk is worth it. Chandler is desperate for his father’s approval so he can make a difference in his factory empire, but his parents seem more concerned with finding him a suitable bride. When he meets a beautiful young woman with strong opinions, he can’t help but fall for her. But when she disappears into the night without a trace, he wonders if she was too good to be true. Will he find his true love, or has she blown away like the wind?
