Treasure Darkly by Jordan Elizabeth
Clark Treasure assumes the drink he stole off the captain is absinthe… until the chemicals in the liquid give him the ability to awaken the dead.
A great invention for creating perfect soldiers, yes, but Clark wants to live as a miner, not a slave to the army—or the deceased. On the run, Clark turns to his estranged, mining tycoon father for help. The Treasures welcome Clark with open arms, so he jumps at the chance to help them protect their ranch against Senator Horan, a man who hates anyone more powerful than he.
Sixteen-year-old Amethyst Treasure loathes the idea of spending the summer away from her bustling city life to rot on her father’s ranch, but when a handsome young man shows up claiming to be her secret half-brother, her curiosity is piqued. He’s clever, street smart, and has no qualms jumping into the brawl between the Treasures and Horans. Caught in the middle, Horan kidnaps Amethyst, and all she gets is this lousy bullet through her heart.
When Clark brings her back to life, however, the real action starts, and Amethyst joins him in his fight against the Horan clan—whatever the cost. Defeating the Horans may seem easy at first, but going up against men with the same fighting vengeance as Clark, and a Senator with power he’s obtained by brainwashing the masses?
Well, Amethyst’s boring summer at home has turned into an adventure on the run, chock full of intrigue, danger, love, and a mysterious boy named Clark.

What inspired you to write your book?
I wanted to write a Western, but with a steampunk twist.
Here is a short sample from the book:
With his arm around her waist, he helped her onto his steamcycle, lifting her skirt around her waist so she could get her legs over each side, and swung ahead of her. “Hold me tight.” He had to ignore the cream-colored skin that covered her calves, her blue painted toenails, her legs waxed of hair to appear as smooth as satin. Where the skirt crumpled, he caught a glimpse of her thighs.
Her arms slid around his waist and she pressed her front against his back. Her breath brushed his neck where the onyx helmet didn’t cover.
“If you want a hug, just ask,” she purred.
Minx. He set his jaw as he revved the engine and steered his steamcycle away from the fighting. She might get hit if he drove through the middle. He would follow the ridge before boarding it.
