Third Daughter
(The Dharian Affairs, Book One) by Susan Kaye Quinn
Quote:
The Third Daughter of the Queen wants her birthday to arrive so she'll be free to marry for love, but rumors of a new flying weapon may force her to accept a barbarian prince's proposal for a peace-brokering marriage. Desperate to marry the charming courtesan she loves, Aniri agrees to the prince's proposal as a subterfuge in order to spy on him, find the weapon, and hopefully avoid both war and an arranged marriage to a man she does not love.

Third Daughter is the first book in the The Dharian Affairs Trilogy (Third Daughter, Second Daughter, First Daughter). This steampunk-goes-to-Bollywood (Bollypunk!) romance takes place in an east-Indian-flavored alternate world filled with skyships, saber duels, and lots of royal intrigue. And, of course, kissing.

Yes, this one was a bonus book in StoryBundle's Steampunk Bundle.

I actually grabbed it from Netgalley (DRM free) ages ago and the description was quite a bit different.
Haven't read it yet - mostly grabbed it for being a different steampunk setting. (East Indian vs the normal Victorian England or Wild West US)
