Publisher's Synopsis
In a world where no one could be trusted, she trusted him... Months had passed following their deadly confrontation with the ancient vampire, Draven Valentin. At last, Gabriella Shannon was hopeful, experiencing a genuine sense of security for the first time in months. Putting the past behind her, she journeyed with James to England; but James Delacroix had a hidden agenda... What should have been a truly happy occasion would soon become one fraught with danger and deceit. For nine years Captain James Delacroix had evaded capture for acts of treason and piracy against the Crown. Refusing to let go of a tragic past, he shielded Gabriella from the truth and grew more restless by the day. James wanted the man responsible for the unjust execution of his young brother, and he wouldn't rest as long as the wretch drew breath. The ill-fated venture seemed doomed from the start and may well prove to be his downfall. Neither James nor Gabriella could have prepared themselves for the violent storm of trouble awaiting them in London. With England on the brink of war, London was not a sympathetic place for an inexperienced Irish girl. What would she do if everything the Captain had planned came crashing down, leaving her alone in the vast, corrupt city? Gabriella may find herself joining with an unimaginable source.
