"The world seems full of good men--even if there are monsters in
it."
-Bram Stoker, Dracula
England, 1890
Vampires are alive and well in North Yorkshire, leastwise in the minds
of the uneducated. Librarian Rosa Edwards intends to drive a stake
through the heart of such superstitions. But gossip flies when the
mysterious Sir James Morgan returns to his shadowy manor. The townsfolk
say he is cursed.
James hates everything about England. The weather. The rumours. The
scorn. Yet he must stay. His mother is dying of a disease for which he's
desperately trying to find a cure--an illness that will eventually take
his own life.
When Rosa sets out to prove the dark gossip about James is wrong, she
discovers more questions than answers. How can she accept what she can't
explain--especially the strong allure of the enigmatic man? James must
battle a town steeped in fear as well as the unsettling attraction he
feels for the no-nonsense librarian.
Can love prevail in a town filled with fear and doubt?
