The Seduction of an Unknown Lady

Having resigned his commission in India, Lord Aidan McBride returns to London to make his fortune. He becomes distracted, however, when he finds himself captivated by Miss Fionna Hawkes. But Fionna has a life of her own - bookshop owner by day, by night she is F.J. Sparrow, bestselling horror/gothic novelist whose tales of murder, monsters and mayhem have the country entranced by the stories as well as by the author's true identity. If the world were to discover her mother is installed in a private insane asylum, her career would be over, and she would be unable to see to her mother's care. But Fionna is in trouble - she is being stalked. And while Fionna is convinced she doesn't need a rescuer, Aidan is determined to protect her - and just as determined to have her.
