About this ebook

★★★★★ “the perfect mix of mystery and romance”


Betrayed by those she trusted, penniless and alone, Darcie Finch is forced to accept a position that no one else dares, as the assistant to dangerously attractive Dr. Damien Cole. Ignoring the whispered warnings and rumors that he's a man to fear, she takes her position at his eerie estate, where she quickly discovers that nothing is at it seems, least of all her handsome and brooding employer.


As Darcie struggles with her fierce attraction to Damien, she must also deal with the blood, the disappearances ... and the murders. With her options dwindling and time running out, Darcie must rely on her instincts as she confronts the man she is falling in love with. Is he innocent ... or is he a remorseless killer who prowls the East End streets?


★★★★★ “It's so beautifully written!”

★★★★★ “Gripping gothic romance”

★★★★★ “Amazing book full of intrigue”

I really am at a loss for words.......! At first I was hesitant to read this book because of the description as "dark" and "gothic". However, once I started reading I couldn't put it down. What a great read! Darcie was such a strong, brave character and I realize now why the story was told only from her pov. Damian was such a good, kind man who was broken because of his past experiences. I loved how their love grew as all the mystery unravelled. Most of all I enjoyed the ending.

Deliciously creepy with flawed, sexy, well-developed characters who face their fears and overcome their pasts as they learn to trust each other while solving a series of vicious murders. Whew! It's intense and compelling. I couldn't put it down!
