Betrayed by those she trusted, penniless and alone, Darcie Finch is forced to accept a position that no one else dares, as assistant to dangerously attractive Dr. Damien Cole. Ignoring the whispered warnings and rumours that he's a man to fear, she takes her position at his eerie estate where she quickly discovers that nothing is at it seems, least of all her handsome and brooding employer. As Darcie struggles with her fierce attraction to Damien, she must also deal with the blood, the disappearances … and the murders.
With her options dwindling and time running out, Darcie must rely on her instincts as she confronts the man she is falling in love with. Is he an innocent and misunderstood man … or a remorseless killer who prowls the East End streets?
I sped through this novel quickly. It was one of those random cheap Kindle deals that I picked up somewhere along the way. I thought it would be a fun supernatural romance. I really wanted some good fun supernatural occurrences, a great relationship, and some steamy scenes. By the time I had gotten tot he end of the book, i was just pretty disappointed. Their relationship between Darcie and Damien was nonexistent. I couldn’t see any reason why these two were together. I get Darcie’s motivations a bit, but Damien is a complete mystery. I never figured out why he loved Darcie. There just didn’t seem like anything to build a relationship. And I was disappointed that there wasn’t any real supernatural occurrences. Not really impressed.
