Description:
The only way to save her life is to resurrect the dead…
Julian Darke was only a newborn when he was abandoned on the doorstep of a gentleman doctor. Though raised with love, he is driven to discover his true origins.
Convinced Sir Thaddeus Ormond knows something, Julian shadows him one night and is shocked to see a young woman thrown from Ormond s carriage and accosted by a thug. Julian manages to save her life, but not her face and hands from horrific injuries.
Nellie Barchester doesn t recognize the scarred, disfigured stranger in the mirror. Though the gifted doctor and engineer has done his best to repair the damage, scars ravage her body, and chill her soul with the realization that her own husband may have plotted her death.
Julian s tenderness is a balm to her soul, and Nellie is drawn to the edge of passion by a man not repelled by her deformities. But as their pursuit of the truth draws them into London s underbelly, they cross the path of a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to fulfill his schemes.

From the brand new series to the looong standing ones (Sue Grafton, anyone?), do you see anything in this week’s litter that piques your interest?
Hmm I want the new Jennifer Ashley story 🙂
Jennifer Ashley’s book is the only one I preordered.
Laurie King’s book is on my wish list. (Bought the first book, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I’m trying to do better about not buying books ’til I’m ready to read them.)
I quit reading the Grafton books quite awhile ago, but I do have intentions to one day go back and play catchup once the series is over.
I had never heard of Ann Hite or The Storyteller, but the book looks really good so it went on the wish list, too.
Thanks for doing this weekly feature–I look forward to it.
I’m looking forward to Darke London! Coleen is such a great writer and I know this will be amazing. Jennifer Ashley is also in the waiting room, along with Fangirl.
