The only way to save her life is to resurrect the dead…
Uncanny Chronicles, Book 1
Julian Darke was only a newborn when he was abandoned on the
doorstep of a gentleman doctor. Though raised with love, he
is driven to discover his true origins.
Convinced Sir Thaddeus Ormond knows something, Julian
shadows him one night—and is shocked to see a young woman
thrown from Ormond’s carriage and accosted by a thug. Julian
manages to save her life, but not her face and hands from
horrific injuries.
Nellie Barchester doesn’t recognize the scarred, disfigured
stranger in the mirror. Though the gifted doctor and
engineer has done his best to repair the damage, scars
ravage her body, and chill her soul with the realization
that her own husband may have plotted her death.
Julian’s tenderness is a balm to her soul, and Nellie is
drawn to the edge of passion by a man not repelled by her
deformities. But as their pursuit of the truth draws them
into London’s underbelly, they cross the path of a ruthless
enemy who will stop at nothing to fulfill his schemes.
Warning: Can a brilliant but troubled doctor find happiness
with a woman scarred both inside and out? A hint of the
supernatural plus a night of passion spice up this Uncanny
Chronicle.
