About this audiobook

She married him to save her father. Now only she can save him. Yorkshire, 1835. With her father dying in a debtors' prison, bookbinder's daughter Clara Whitlow accepts a proposal from a man she has never met. Lord Evander Blackmoor of Ravensgate Hall will forgive every penny of the debt. All Clara has to do is marry him, and remain beneath his roof until the dawn after the winter solstice. There are only three rules. Never leave the house after dark. Never enter the east wing. And never open a door to him unless she is certain it is really him. Clara soon learns why. Her cold, courteous husband does not eat, does not age, and has not walked in daylight since 1660. And the beautiful, ancient woman who made him is coming at the solstice to take him back forever. The only thing that can stop her is an old law: a mortal wife who stays by her own free will until dawn. But girls from the village are turning up dead on the moor with red ribbons in their hair. An angry mob is marching on Ravensgate. Someone Clara trusts is lying to her. And every locked room in the house seems to hold another secret about the man she married. As the longest night of the year draws near, Clara must decide whether her bargain was a mistake, or the beginning of the only love story that could ever break a curse. Inside you'll find: • A marriage of convenience that slowly becomes real • A brooding, honorable vampire hero who refuses to become a monster • A clever, practical heroine who mends books and faces down mobs • A snowbound gothic manor, a sealed east wing, and a deadly mystery • Slow burn longing with kisses worth waiting for • A clean, closed-door romance with no explicit scenes • A standalone story with a satisfying happily ever after If you love gothic romance full of candlelight, danger, and devotion, without the spice, come to Ravensgate this winter.
