He'd rather spend his days, and nights, with his young lover Frederick. But his father's gently put request that he marry is nothing short of an order, and Bradford won't settle for a silly bit of fluff. When he sees the beautiful Norwegian seamstress, he makes his decision on the spot. He has to have her, even as he knows claiming her could destroy his relationship with Frederick. Seamstress Ilsa Bergstrom has endured all the abuse she can take from her late sister's cruel husband. But a thirty-year-old childless woman in London's rough Whitechapel has few options for surviving on her own, and after a horrific night of abuse at the hands of three men, she'll never choose whoring as one of them. Yet when handsome nobleman Bradford Stratton makes a scandalous proposition, she accepts without hesitation. His extravagant manor house is the most luxurious she's ever seen and Bradford treats her like a princess, but Ilsa knows when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forsaken beyond redemption and forced into servitude for his sins, only death can be his salvation. As payment for his crimes, Saden was disowned by his Vampyre race and made a Drakon—a slave trained to become a soulless killer and forced by his master to apprehend other demon criminals. He was an assassin with no future except the promise of death at the end of his sentence to relieve his suffering. His life was forfeit, and had been since the day he was betrayed by the one man he'd trusted with his life—his uncle, Gabriel. The only respite in the madness of his world lay in the heart of a warrior he'd sworn to protect. A woman who wasn't even aware of his existence. Daneya had learned early in life that the only one she could depend on was herself. Circumstance had made her hard and unyielding, with only the love of her daughter to keep her going. But she was running from a past that chased her relentlessly, and a man who wouldn't let her go. Even after joining an organization dedicated to destroying demons who preyed on humans, she still couldn't escape the Vampyre who haunted her nightmares. Gabriel would find her. It was only a matter of time. Her only chance was to trust in a criminal whose sins made him the very thing she hated. Yet Saden wasn't what she'd expected at all. Could she learn to trust him with her life and heart before Gabriel took everything in his lust for power?
