She’s drawn to darkness. He’s the darkest of all.
A witty, sensual Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Lucretia “Crecy” Holbrook has a secret—one she has guarded for years. Not even her beloved sister Belle knows the lengths Crecy is willing to go, or the risks she is prepared to take, to claim the one thing her wild heart desires.

Crecy is no simpering debutante. She loathes poetry, finds dancing a nuisance, and is fully prepared to hurl the nearest object at any fool who dares compare her to Aphrodite. She is far more likely to return from a country ramble with a badger’s skull and a bleeding creature in her arms than a bouquet of wildflowers. She is a fearless Regency heroine, drawn to the broken, the dangerous, the untamed.

And her heart belongs to the darkest of them all.

Gabriel Greyston, Viscount Demorte—a man whispered about in drawing rooms and feared in back alleys. His reputation is a litany of sins: blackmail, murder, madness. Cruelly handsome, cold as winter steel, and wounded in ways no one dares to imagine, Demorte is the very definition of a tormented Regency hero, the kind found only in the most intoxicating dark romance.

He is everything Crecy dreams of… and everything she should avoid.
But Crecy has never been sensible.
And Demorte has never been safe.

Determined to reach the man behind the monstrous rumours, she risks her heart—and her reputation—on a man whose bite may ruin her beyond repair. Yet in the shadows where he hides, Crecy may be the only light he cannot bear to lose.

A fearless heroine.
A dangerous viscount.
