Publisher Description
Jacob Ashland’s life has taken an unexpected turn. He’s now the Earl of Ashland and expected to marry. But he’s done that before and had his heart ripped from his chest. When Charlotte shows up at his door needing protection, he offers to marry her––in name-only.
Charlotte, an orphan, suspects her sinister cousin of terrorizing London. When her maid disappears, she fears for her own life and runs away. Lord Ashland offers marriage, and it’s the perfect solution. But it isn’t long before she finds herself falling for her new husband.
Unfortunately, he won’t allow himself to love anyone ever again. And she knows her dark secret could destroy everything.
Customer Reviews
An unexpected historical romance
This is a bit different to the norm, involving a serial killer, a gentlewoman in hiding and a solicitor turned new Earl. This was quite a dark book as the killings are grisly and the romance element is not centre stage. It certainly made a change and I was kept engaged throughout. If you want to try something a bit different give this novel a go.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
