A breathtaking Victorian romance about a man without scruples and the lady who brings him to his knees from the New York Times–bestselling author.
What does it matter if Kate, Lady d’Allenay, has absolutely no marriage prospects? She has a castle to tend, an estate to run, and a sister to watch over, which means she is never, ever reckless. Until an accident brings a handsome, virile stranger to Bellecombe Castle, and Kate finds herself tempted to surrender to her houseguest’s wicked kisses.
Disowned by his aristocratic family, Lord Edward Quartermaine has turned his gifted mind to ruthless survival. Feared and vilified as proprietor of London’s most notorious gaming salon, he now struggles to regain his memory, certain of only one thing: he wants all Kate is offering—and more.
But when Edward’s memory returns, he and Kate realize how much they have wagered on a scandalous passion that could be her ruin, but perhaps his salvation.

A relentless, devil-deal horror thriller about immortal souls, from the award-winning author of the acclaimed novel Poe.
When marketing executive Fiona Dunn walks into a bar feeling defeated, she chalks a charming stranger’s claim of being the Devil up to a drunken pickup line. But a few drinks in, he offers her a wish in exchange for her immortal soul—and a mysterious “favor” to be called in later—Fiona takes the bait.
Bad idea. Now Fiona’s part of a hidden circle of “dead souls” whose reckless bargains with the devil have bound them to unspeakable acts. Each carries a business-card contract, and each lives in dread of that blank “Favor” finally being called in in.
As bodies start piling up, and favors are called in one by one, Fiona realizes that the true horror is not the deal—it’s the terrifying, inevitable price. Racing the Devil’s deadline, she must outwit the master of Hell himself…or lose more than her soul.
Dark, gripping and twist-filled, Dead Souls blends supernatural suspense, occult horror and Faustian dread in a high-stakes thriller you won’t be able to put down.
