SummarySara Ashston finds herself fighting for her home against a
strange man who contests her deed in 1819 England. Drawn to
save him from kidnapping and drug addiction almost against
her will, she finds that he is the stuff of nightmares. But
it is too late. She has already lost her heart to him. Will
she have the courage to embrace the darkness? Their love is
a sacrament that will save their souls or damn them for
eternity.
What if the man you loved was a vampire? How would you
find the courage to embrace the darkness? Sarah Ashton,
Lady Clevancy, is sure she is a very ordinary person in a
very ordinary Regency England. When her life is invaded by
a mysterious stranger, the long lost owner of the ruined
abbey adjacent to her ancestral lands now accused of serial
murder, she should be appalled, rather than fascinated.
But she finds herself saving the devil himself from danger,
and falling in love in the process. Her love will lead
her across Europe, to the edge of eternity.
