Scandals with Bite

Angelica Winthrop wants nothing more than to ruin her reputation to avoid marriage and be a gothic authoress like her idol, Mary Shelley. Unfortunately, all her schemes keep backfiring and the wedding noose is tightening. To find inspiration for her next story, she breaks into the reputably haunted home of Ian Ashton, Duke of Burnrath. But when she tumbles down the stairs, Angelica finds something far more dangerous than ghosts.

Vincent Tremayne, Lord Vampire of Cornwall, is known to English Society as the Earl of Deveril and reputed to be a mad recluse. Imagine his surprise when the Dowager Countess of Morley forces him to honor an old family alliance and take her unwanted granddaughter as his ward. The audacious demand goads Vincent into vowing that he’ll make a better match for his ward than Lady’s Morley’s preferred grandchild. But when Lydia Price arrives and turns his castle upside-down with her vivacious nature, Vincent realizes that marrying her off is going to be harder than he thought.

She chose the wrong night to go graverobbing. Rafael Villar, interim Lord Vampire of London, has an avalanche of problems. First, the vampire hunter he’d caught in the cemetery was no vampire hunter. It was Lady Cassandra Burton, the vexing countess who’d pestered him at social events. She’d only meant to steal a cadaver for her relentless quest to become a doctor. In a stroke of bad luck, Rafe is unable to erase Cassandra’s memory of their encounter. He has no choice but to take her prisoner, under vampire law. The Elders give him thirty nights to decide whether to kill her or Change her.
