The Seduction of Phaeton Black

Phaeton Black works as Scotland Yard's secret weapon against the supernatural in Victorian London. He investigates paranormal crimes, drinks absinthe, and has a reputation for a weakness for women that is as well known as his skill at deduction.

His latest assignment is to track a fanged woman who drains her victims of blood. While watching for her, he is caught by a stranger instead. Miss America Jones holds a knife to his throat and orders him to make love to her, using him as cover from the gang of pirates on her trail. She carries a derringer in her garter and is not the killer he is hunting.

Miss Jones is the daughter of a Cajun witch and has uncanny powers of her own. She is also a fighter who can deal with threats ranging from Egyptian mummies to Jack the Ripper. Phaeton sees that she may be the help he needs to solve the case.

Then an ancient evil is released on the city, and the stakes for both of them rise. She may prove to be his salvation, or the price he has to pay.

This is a paranormal historical romance with a sexy, playful tone. It mixes detective work, monsters and a fast-moving partnership between two reckless people.
