Returning home after a seven-year trip abroad, an English rose finds herself the reluctant heir to a legacy that spans generations and puts her in the direct path of a killer desperate enough to murder to keep his secret safe...
Witch.
Actress Evermir Stark is one of Europe's most celebrated actresses, the daughter of a baronetcy and a woman with a troubled past. Born with the ability of precognition, the heritage of her mother's ancestors, Evie learned at a young age to first suppress then deny them in order to please her class obsessed father. When his love of status overcomes his love of family and he sells her to the highest bidder, she rebels, fleeing to Paris to escape his own brand of madness. But when her visions return with frightening, nightmarish intensity, she knows she can't run forever and returns home to find herself quickly embroiled in a murder investigation.
Wanderer
Playing a fool on stage is all in a night's work for James Squire. An outwardly, merry, bumbling man with an infectious laugh and clumsy manners, his façade hides a darker secret. And purpose. After years spent tracking his prey, he has at last found her and played the fawning accolade for her pleasure. It's too bad his obsession couldn't be more blind to his obvious affections. But he won't let Evie get away that easily and when she returns home, he isn't far behind. Her surrender will be his ultimate salvation. One way or another.
Wicked
Somber and dedicated Matthew McGreer is a man rising high in the ranks of Scotland Yard. A cunning, straight forward man, noted for his sharp acumen and inherent skills of deduction, he is helping to lead the team working feverishly to discover the identity of London's most notorious killer, The Whitechapel Murderer aka Jack the Ripper. The last thing he needs muddling his work ethic is the appearance of a saucy redhead who appears to have close ties to the killer. Family ties.
Thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse, will Evie trust herself and her legacy enough to allow the sight to guide her true? Or will she lose her heart to one man and her life to another?
