Publisher's Synopsis
When the sister of model citizen Joanna Wilder goes missing, Joanna must turn to the dark side and trust a doctor who is hiding a secret that could destroy her...
Five days before Joanna Wilder's wayward sister Eva becomes the responsibility of a government-selected husband, Eva vanishes. Desperate, Joanna enlists the help of Gabriel Stone, a Londo City doctor and the last person to see Eva alive. While Joanna searches for her sister, she is trampled in a riot. She drags her broken body to the doctor's clinic and collapses, barely clinging to life. Her fate is now in Gabriel's hands. He must make a life and death decision: let her live-a changed being of undiscovered powers and not entirely human-or let her die. Gabriel chooses life, but in so doing, takes away Joanna's freedom of choice. Will Joanna damn Gabriel for playing God with her life, or will her new powers be the secret to defeating the cruel overlord that rules Londo City? For Joanna, playing by the rules is over-forever. AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you like Victorian London, gothic stories, vampires who are more than just bloodthirsty monsters, slow-to-burn romances, strong female leads, colorful sidekicks and snarky villains, you will enjoy this book.
