They say that spirits haunt Blackheath moor . . . They wed in haste—Nora Thorngoode, to save her ruined reputation, and Grayson Lowell, to rescue his estate from foreclosure for unpaid debts. Each resents the necessity to exchange vows that will bind them for all time, and yet from the first, passion flames between them, quickly engulfing them in a sensual obsession. But soon the lover that Nora married becomes a dark stranger to her, a man torn apart by guilt over his brother’s recent, mysterious death and driven half-mad by ghostly specters who demand that Grayson expose the truth. Has Nora married a murderer whose wicked deeds blacken everything around them? Or, together, in the secret passageways of Blackheath Grange and along Cornwall’s remote coastline, can Grayson and Nora discover what really happened that terrible night, and in setting free the troubled ghosts, can they free themselves as well? Debut author Allison Chase sweeps readers away to a rugged, wind-swept landscape, where a haunted house holds the key to one man’s tormented past, and one woman’s restless yearning. “Anyone who loves . . . a well-written historical romance will relish this tale.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Heather Graham

There has only ever been one guarantee in my life. Death. I’ve seen it take everyone I care about and then some. That’s why I left my old life behind and handed my loyalty to those at Kadia, the nightclub of sin and freedom in New York City. I should have known better. I should have known my demons would catch up with me. The dominos begin to fall with the appearance of five armed Russians who know the dark corners of my old reputation. But nothing is as it seems, and they lead me to an old employer who needs a favor—and who still keeps his daughter under lock and key for her own protection. Tatiana Ivanov. Without her, I might not have any reason to keep fighting. Without her, I might have been content to watch them all burn. They deserved it. She did not. If I have to die for something, it might as well be for her.

With her soul bound to an ancient demon lord and her sister taken captive by a monster, hope is in short supply. But Charley will not go down without a fight.

Even if it means making a choice that will alter the course of her life… for eternity. Dorian... Dorian never wanted his father’s crown or the secrets that came with it. He never wanted to fall in love with the seductive stranger he’d ravaged in a closet, either. But fate had other plans. Now, with the enemies of House Redthorne lurking in every shadow, demons threatening to destroy his city, and an ancient lord of hell laying claim on the woman who’s set Dorian’s very soul on fire, the vampire king has only one mission: Burn. Them. All. Even if it means betraying his father’s memory. Even if it means making the darkest sacrifice of his immortal life...
