BACK STABER, DEVIL, BITCH, TRAITOR...
Words do the most damage some say, others say its actions. Well those people are wrong, the words that accommodate those actions do the most damage. Its a double edge sword... just like this story. Now I could tell you this is a simple story about a classic fallen angel love story... but that would be a utter fucking lie.
This is no walk in the park, but what story is? She's a traitor, a murderer, she gave Him up, He was her everything, He gave her something to fight for and to fight against. Then one day she became what He must fight against. Thats where we are picking up, in victorian London. Back then She Only wanted to find a way to save him from His end, but she just shoved Him closer to it, does she hate herself for doing that... maybe?
I'd think that adapting to being the good in the world is hard for the most infamous Murderer of London... She's still flighting the battle she started two years ago against Him, now its time to finish it.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
