A gothic paranormal romance where a cursed empath and a man becoming a monster find they're the only ones who understand each other.

She saved his life. Now she must save him from what he's becoming.

It was supposed to be one night with the marquess…

Everyone loves Lord Julian Batchelor, Marquess of Ormonde. The golden boy of the ton, he knows everyone, and they think they know him, too. But Julian harbors dark secrets, and he’s determined not to let anyone discover them—until he meets the one woman immune to him…

When newly-weds Sir James and Lady Cecilia Branstoke come to the aid of a new-made widow, somethings don’t add up about the death of her young lord husband. Worse, a man who won’t state his purpose, but is obviously military, wants a carte blanche to search the dead man’s library! The sheer effrontery!

Their search for answers takes the Branstokes and the widow to the white cliffs of Dover and a search for answers from Folkstone to Dover. Is this a murder, or a ruse? And if a ruse, Why?
