Freedom, and love, or death!
Gabrielle Howell enters the hellish asylum of Bedlam in London when her
sister Lucinda is committed as insane by her husband the Earl of
Oxnard.
During a riot at the asylum, Gabrielle is rescued by a handsome inmate
known only as Simon, who seems to make an awful lot of sense for
someone supposedly deranged.
Drugged and suffering from a mysterious malady, Simon cannot remember
his past. All his records seem to indicate he is a deadly killer
incarcerated by his prominent family.
But the more Gabrielle gets to know the fiercely intelligent and gentle
man, the more she has her doubts that this could ever be true. Simon is
principled, kind, and certainly no murderer. The passion that sparks
between them is like nothing she has ever known, heady, and addictive.
Simon isn't sure if the gorgeous woman he has held in his arms is real,
or a figment of his opium-addled brain. All he knows is, it's true
love, a gift from the gods he will never give up, except in death.
Even as their love deepens, the danger swarms in all around them. Will
allowing themselves to love one other prove to be Gabrielle and Simon's
salvation, or sheer madness?

Simon began to tease Gabrielle,
rippling his fingers over her peaks and valleys with a surety of touch
which set her hips thrusting against his hand so desperately, he had
all to do not to take her there and then.
He whispered in her ear, “If we were alone, do you know what I would
do?”
She shook her head.
“Do you want me to tell you?” he asked, nuzzling her ear and nibbling
the lobe.
“Mmm,” she sighed through parted lips.
“I would lick you all over, running my tongue inside and out. Explore
you fully with it, and my fingers, and finally my straining manhood.
Penetrate you with all three until you melted against me and called out
my name. I would wander over every part of your body, so that you would
know my touch everywhere. I’d possess you utterly, so that you could
never think of anything but my caresses, my passion. Oh God, Gabrielle,
j’ai besoin de toi.”
“I need you too, Simon,” she panted, before feasting on his mouth with
her own.
Reviews:
This endlessly creative and talented author has done it again,
producing a chilling and clever Regency Noir with strong Gothic
elements and a couple who go through hell on earth in order to win each
other’s love.
Bedlam insane asylum is not the most likely place for a genteel young
woman to find her lover, but Gabrielle knows there is more to Simon
than meets the eye. He comes to her rescue during a riot at the asylum,
saving Gabrielle and her ill sister Lucinda, who is pregnant.
Gabrielle is determined to repay the handsome but mysterious inmate
whose slightest touch sets her on fire.
Though warned off the supposedly mad inmate by her cousin Antony, she
seeks the truth about Simon's unfair imprisonment, and tries to wean
him from the opium his captors have forced him to take to keep him in
their control. Gabrielle's investigations soon sweep up all of her
friends and family in a whirlwind of espionage and murder. Gabrielle's
must be at her most resourceful and clever as she seeks to save Simon
from the hell on earth he has been forced to endure for the sake of his
country during the Napoleonic wars.
Once again, the author has penned a truly romantic book with an
intimate and emotionally connected couple who share the most fabulous
love scenes. I really enjoy the way that her ordinary men and
women are called upon to do the most extraordinary things to win the
happily ever after of their one true love, and Simon and Gabrielle are
exceptional, a couple you will remember long after you have finished
reading the book.
