About the Book
When Lucy Pickett arrives at Blackwell Manor to tend to her ailing cousin, Kate, she finds more than she bargained for. A restless ghost roams the hallways, werewolves have been reported in the area, and vampires lurk across the Scottish border.
Lord Miles himself is clearly hiding a secret. He is brash and inhospitable and does not take kindly to visitors—even one as smart and attractive as Miss Pickett. He is unsettled by the mysterious deaths of his new wife, Clara, and his sister, Marie. Could Miles himself be to blame for the deaths?
Working together, Miles and Lucy attempt to restore peace to Blackwell Manor. But can Lucy solve the mystery of Miles? Can she love the man—beast and all?

Book Beginning
It had never been proven that Lord Blackwell had killed his wife, but then the man in question hadn't actually denied it either. The death of his sister the very next day hadn't helped matters at all, and rumors circulated and swirled, as rumors were wont to do. According to London gossip, the police questioned him as a formality and then left him alone.
Friday 56
Lucy briefly closed her eyes and placed her palm to her forehead. Usually the problems she fixed were so much simpler. And the stakes were never so high.
