Description

Notorious rake Asher Blackbourne isn’t the indulgent Lord everyone thinks he is. His tenuous control hangs by a thread, but when Ivy bursts into his life, control has nothing to do with the fire she ignites in his blood.

Ivy Wollard’s welcome in society has long been revoked as the daughter of an infamous criminal. So when a risky proposition from the mysterious Marquess of Blackbourne might change her grim future, she finds herself unable to resist his plan or the enigmatic man himself.

Yet as Ash’s scheme creates a forbidden passion, Ivy’s deadly secrets threaten to destroy them as her past becomes a very real and present nightmare from which neither can escape…

Advance Praise

~Editor's Pick~

"Outstanding! A period romance that has a really interesting plot that includes, instead of being overwhelmed by, erotic episodes. I really enjoyed the story, the character development, and the balance of the romantic interludes."

"Brilliant! Not only does Hollows have you feeling like you've stepped into the 19th century, she makes you want to stay there. The wit, passion, and the unrelenting action will have you devouring this book from cover to cover."

"A story full of madness, danger, science, secrets, masquerade, and love. Ivette lived well until it all fell apart, and she found ways to survive. I loved her strength of will and mind, her intelligence and survival instincts. Even when in true danger, she tried to stay brave. Asher was messed up and struggled to stay sane. His intelligence far exceeded anyone around, and he was able to live a double life. I wanted to smack him a couple times for how he treated Ivy, but I felt for his situation. As they realized what was important and how they could help each other, my heart felt for these two. There were a couple instances when I wasn't sure about the words or phrases used through the story, but it did not keep me from enjoying this story."
