Descripción editorial
When the boundaries between scientific pursuit and personal risk blur, love and danger intertwine in the most unexpected ways.
Cait McCullough, venom expert, is trouble personified.
Bored, she longs for excitement. And investigating a vicious fanged creature who stalks its victims by lamplight in darkest London offers the perfect opportunity. Working with a handsome, unmarried agent? A delightful bonus.
Agent Jonathan “Jack” Tagert’s impending blindness threatens his line of work. The timing couldn’t be worse. When a deadly attack upon a lord at his brother’s engagement ball connects to a string of odd murders, the hunt begins for a seductive predator.
Societal scandal binds them together, sending them on a perilous mission to trace the creature’s past, to separate fact from myth. As the venomous truth slithers near, time is running out. Can the pair untangle a mystery and stop the body count from rising?
Enjoy this story by historical fantasy romance author Anne Renwick where you'll unravel mysteries and defy conventions in a world where danger lurks around every corner.
Venomous Secrets is a steampunk-infused gaslamp fantasy romance steeped in venomous science, social scandal, and slow-burning attraction. As a deadly creature stalks London by lamplight, a reckless scientist and a devoted agent must uncover the truth behind the myth—before blindness, betrayal, and bloodshed claim them both. Perfect for readers who enjoy Gail Carriger, Bec McMaster, Jacquelyn Benson and Mary Robinette Kowal.
The fourth story in the Elemental Web, Venomous Secrets can be enjoyed as a standalone and delivers a steamy romance with a guaranteed happily ever after—where love is as perilous and irresistible as the predator stalking London by lamplight.
