Jack the Ripper. The name strikes fear into the hearts of those living in Victorian London. Preying on innocent women, the mysterious murderer slinks along the cobblestoned streets undetected and disappears without a trace into the night. Diana Ashdown. Beautiful and adventurous, she never wanted to be married off and trapped in a marriage she didn’t choose. She longs to see the world and write about it, but in 1888, her opportunities to become a journalist are limited. Living in a lavish, gloomy home and married to the handsome, but cruel and coldly distant Lucian Ashdown, the Marquess of Aberaeron, Diana’s only job as a wife is to care for the children from the marquess' first marriage. But a chance encounter pulls her into the drama surrounding the murders in Whitechapel, and her investigative skills are put to use as she helps to unravel the deadly mysteries surrounding the Ripper. It isn’t long before Diana finds herself in the middle of the nightmare, with her own life on the line. As the murders continue and London is stirred into a panic, Diana realizes that the killer might be living closer than she’d ever imagined…even under the same roof. As she fights to save herself and London, Diana will encounter love, heartache, family, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.

A month ago, if someone were to tell me that my best friend was a part of the cruel and ruthless Moretti Crime Family, a gang that was known for their merciless, brutal and downright evil ways, I would have told them that they needed to visit a mental hospital. Hell, I would've offered to personally drive them there to ensure that the said person arrived safely. A month ago, if someone were to tell me Logan Keller, my best friend since the age of eight, had an order from his boss. An order that could not be ignored. An order that stated that if he wanted to keep breathing he would have to kill me himself. I would have asked them if they forgot to take their medication in the morning. A month ago, if someone were to tell me that I would end up on on the MCF top ten most wanted list, with a five thousand dollar reward for the lucky bastard who gets to end my life first, I would have given them a blank stare, nodded my head and walk away from the lunatic as fast as I could. A month ago, I never thought that cleaning out Logan's filthy room would land me in this much crap. Running from the cops. Running from gangs. Running from my so called trustworthy best friend. And failing miserably at all three. And who would have thought? Me, the absolute nerd, would be on the run with my gangster of a best friend. (Cover by my best friend- ForeverFaithful21)
