Margaret Dunhaven is not impressed by her vampire husband. Trapped in a cursed manor to fulfill a ridiculous family obligation, she’s ready to escape—if only the tea weren’t so terrible.
But when she discovers that Lord Shadowcroft was just as tricked into this marriage as she was, Margaret decides escape might require collaboration. She brings the research skills. He brings centuries of undead knowledge. Together, they might just reclaim her stolen inheritance, break his ancient curse, and undo the magical binding that wed them in the first place.
That is, if they can stop bickering long enough to get anything done.
This sharp and romantic gothic fantasy reimagines Beauty and the Beast in a tea-stained, alternate-history England where love is inconvenient, undead, and possibly inevitable.
