Miss Education of Dr. Exeter

Phaeton Black is missing. Sucked into an alternative universe by Professor Lovecraft's Trans-Dimensional Injection Portal, the paranormal detective is nowhere to be found, and even the bewitching Miss America Jones, pregnant with his child, has no idea where he is.

When a spy fly's microphone picks up Phaeton's voice in the parlours of Paris, America enlists his friends to track him down before his deadliest enemies find him first. She travels to the City of Light accompanied by the dashing Dr. Exeter, his ward Mia, and a trusty pair of Nightshades.

But something about Paris in the fall brings out the devil in Dr. Exeter and the beast in the mild-mannered Mia, whose animal urges transform her into a panther. Jillian Stone's erotic steampunk adventure mixes Victorian paranormal investigation with the fraught relationship between a guardian and the ward he has watched grow up.
