**Adult content* * -Tastefully written, yet graphic sexual situations -Violence -Adult themes 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.

Adeline Carrington had it all figured out. At 20 years old, she had finally saved up enough money to move to London, England. She believed in taking a gap year or two before starting college to really find out what she wanted in life. However, her simple life would soon change. One cold evening, she becomes lost in the streets of London. She ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time and has to fight for her life; but her fight is cut short when notorious gang leader, Grayson Ashford, shows up. Kidnapped, she is given a choice: join the Crimson Syndicate or die. Taking the only option, she undergoes an adventure far greater than she ever could have imagined. Will she open up to someone who could break her heart, or worse, her neck? Or will she do everything she can to escape? What happens when an 'accident' turns out to be a murder?
