Jack the Ripper might be in town. But is marriage more
terrifying? In an alternate Deep South in 1890, society reporter Adele
de la Pointe wants to make her own way in the world, despite
her family’s pressure to become a society wife. Hoping to
ruin herself as a matrimonial prospect, she seizes the
opportunity to cover the recent Jack the Ripper-style
murders for the newspaper, but her father's dashing new
intern suggests a more terrifying headline—marriage. Dr. Phillip Rawley’s most daring exploit has been arriving
at his new home in America in a hot air balloon. A tolerable
sacrifice, if it means he can secure the hand of his new
employer’s daughter in a marriage of convenience. But Adele
works, she's spirited, and she has an armored pet monkey
running her errands. Not only does she not match his notions
of a proper lady, she stirs up feelings he’d rather keep in
tight control. With Adele hunting down a headline and Dr. Rawley trying to
protect and pursue her, a serial killer is spreading panic
throughout Mobile, Alabama. Can Adele and Rawley find the
murderer, face their fears, and discover true love?
