When a man weds a heiress, she’s not meant to steal away as soon as his back is turned. Colin Truitt is outraged, and a bit ashamed. He’s gotten everything out of this marriage—to keep his company, Dirigible Journeys, and defeat his enemy. All Anthea got was him. Ashamed or not, he’s determined to recapture his bride. But once he has her, how does a former war-pilot woo a most intriguing mouse? And what happens when an old enemy reappears to threaten everything? A steampunk novella. "The Lion and the Mouse" was originally published in the "Indulge" collection by Jenny Schwartz, which is no longer available.
