Against her better judgement, Charlotte King bows to family duty and marries a man who is not as he seems. Now trapped in a marriage of the worst kind, her life is an endless cycle of pain and fear. That is until Lord Helsing shows her another way to live…
Lord Mason Helsing walked away from the one woman heβd always cared for, but upon returning to London, he finds Charlotte is in a loveless and cruel marriage. Should he throw away the principles by which he lives and follow a different path than he ought?
But divorce for Charlotte means ruination. And Mason is relied upon to marry well and continue his family. Can they overcome the strictures of society and live the life theyβve always wanted? Or will they bow to pressure and do as society deems appropriate?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Charlotte and Mason were childhood friends that grew apart as they aged. Charlotte marries and later regrets her choice, and she turns to Mason for the love and intimacy she needs. There are several sweet and spicy romantic escapades between Charlotte and Mason. The characters are so well-written they draw you into the story. I commiserated with Charlotte as she endured her husband’s actions. I cheered Mason on as he decided to be there for her no matter what. Charlotte is kind and sweet with an inner strength and adventurous spirit that surprised me. She did what was needed and refused to just exist but reached out for adventure determined to live. Throughout the story I was kept on edge hoping that Mason would triumph and Charlotte would be happy and safe. I’ll admit there were tears and for anyone that’s ever watched someone they love go through a bad relationship or marriage you will I instantly identify with this story. Don’t miss this story it will pull on all your emotions, and you’ll love every minute—I did.
