It was because of Miss Eliza Weston that Lucian had nearly found himself betrothed. Not that he had wanted to wed Eliza, but because they had almost been caught in a compromising situation. If she wasn’t so stunning, perhaps he would not mind, but Miss Eliza Weston was aggravation and irritation, wrapped up in one exquisite package, and a menace to them all.

Miss Eliza Weston once believed in vampires, ghosts and witches, and her favorite novels were those of the gothic variety that sent chills down her spine. She loved being scared, and scaring others, which is why she became a novelist. However, fictional fear is nothing compared to the terror of someone who threatens from the shadows. Now the only person who can protect her is the Earl of Garretson; a man she was once hopelessly infatuated with years ago. A man who wants so little to do with her, he has banned her from his life.

Curses and a mummy brought Eliza to his estate, but a very real threat has pushed her into Lucian’s arms.
