Synopsis

A Lady Can Never Be Too Curious opens Mary Wine's Steam Guardians, a steampunk romance set beneath the surface of Victorian life.

Hated and feared by the upper classes, the Illuminists guard their secrets with their lives. Janette Aston has been told all her life what she can and cannot do, and her insatiable quest for answers brings her to the Illuminists' locked golden doors, where she encounters the most formidable man she has ever met.

Wine sets a secret society, a woman refusing the limits set for her, and a guardian who is supposed to stop her against each other, and the attraction between them complicates the work each of them came to do.
