In the shallow but structured world of London’s beau monde, differences aren’t tolerated.
It’s 1813, and in the English countryside, Miss Esme Moore is bored to flinders. Originally sent to her father’s manor for her health, she lingered there for years because the thought of being in society filled her with horrid dread and anxiety. On a midsummer night, she spies something both fascinating and frightening in the moonlit woods, and it changes the course of her life forever in ways she never imagined.
Augustus Carrigan, the 10th Duke of Hollingsworth, is harboring a secret. For whatever reason, every person in his family line for centuries has been born wolf shifters. Forced to live in the shadows and keep his secrets, the urge to take his rightful place within London society with his truth in the open grows strong, but he must be careful, for there are others intent on extinguishing beings like him. Despite that, he yearns for more than fate has given him.
One night when Augustus escapes a masquerade, he emerges from the woods where his transformation from beast to man is witnessed by a woman, everything is thrown into chaos. Not wanting his secret exposed, he kidnaps her to his estate and keeps her as a pampered prisoner until he can form a plan. That provokes more challenges, and when that forced proximity leads to more than heated attraction, a forbidden, budding romance grows. Can it survive differences, and the constant, lurking danger, both from his enemies as well as him? Only a leap of faith can decide.
The key is being true to oneself regardless of the obstacles.
Welcome to the brand new and exciting romantasy series created within a Regency timeline called Lost in the Shadows, where magic is common and mythical beings roam the streets of London or through the halls of country estates. Whether everything is hiding in plain sight or only found in well-kept secrets, be assured that nothing is as it seems. And perhaps that’s the point.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
