Set in late Victorian London

Adeline Moore, a kind, introspective and intelligent young woman. She is the wife of Thomas Moore, and together the pair live, what appears to be, a quiet, comfortable life; that is until Thomas is found dead, single gunshot wound to the temple. The burden of searching for the truth about Thomas' murder falls upon Adeline's shoulders after local law enforcement prove to be unavailing. She hires an elusive private investigator, an intimidating figure with a shrouded past to find the answers she so desperately seeks. In the process, however, Adeline is forced to reconcile that nothing about her old life was at all what it seemed. 

As the investigation makes headway, Adeline is thrust into the midst of something mysterious and otherworldly. She is stalked in her dreams by a man with no face, hungry for her and bold enough to take her as his own, but who, or what is this animalistic apparition? Does it exist outside of her dreams? Waking visions begin to haunt Adeline once more with an ominous warning she cannot decipher until it is already too late.

In Adeline's ruthless search for the truth, she will unwittingly uncover far more than she bargained for.

34 parts Complete Mature
Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society- For a mere two shillings per annum, a selection of human and supernatural species are at your fingertips for perusal- simply choose your desired partner and we'll do the rest! Fine print: all participating clientele need be of sentient capabilities and payment made upfront. Millie Adams was angry with her lot in life- everything had been taken away from her, leaving her in the hands of a relative who endured her simply to have access to her wealth and inheritance. When her cousin realises that Millie is no meek lady willing to do his bidding, he decides to utilize any means necessary to silence his niece, including magic. Knowing that she had to take matters into her own hands, and fast, an advertisement in the societal papers provides Millie with one last avenue of hope: Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society Matchmaking Service. Blayne Leowyn's human name was James Woode according to the documentation this world had provided him, though he was anything but. He lived a solitary existence in the forests skirting around the capital city. The beasts and creatures that dwelled in the area were under his care, tempered and appeased by his tenuous administrations to prevent discord between human and fae. He has little interest in the human way, though when his path crosses with a human woman thanks to Mrs. Addilyn's interfering services, he could not ignore the allure he felt kindling within him. But his unwitting match, Miss Adams, became furious and aloof, and his need for companionship would surely lack considering the woman was mute. However, he could not deny there was something about her... This is a historical fantasy romance novel, heavy focus on the romance.
