As soon as the flame breaks out...

Miranda Ellis is accustomed to suffering. From birth she bears the burden of an unusual and terrible gift, all her life trying to keep her exceptional abilities in check. But just one unexpected, irreparable mistake - and Miranda’s family was left without funds, and she herself was forced to marry the most vicious of London aristocrats.

...and it will burn forever.

Lord Benjamin Archer is not an ordinary person. Forced to hide his disfigured face behind masks, Archer knows it is selfish of him to marry Miranda. However, he has no strength to resist the attraction of the fiery-haired beauty, whose touches ignite a passion hitherto unknown to him. Accused of a series of grisly murders, Archer allows his bestial nature, which he so carefully hid from the light, to take over. The curse that hangs over him cannot be avoided. Now, in order to save her husband's soul, Miranda must enter the world of black magic and cruel intrigue, because only she can see who is hiding behind the mask.
