This is a gothic romance. The main characters are strong and independant and I loved that. This was a good read.

Sophisticated, intelligent, passionate. It's no wonder that the great Lisa Kleypas said about this new writer: "The next great romance author has arrived....If there is only one new author you will try this year, it must be Lydia Joyce."
Helpful Score: 2
Very interesting characters and a unique setting (Eastern Europe) make for a refreshing read.

When four London seasons fail to find her a suitable match, Alcyone Carter does the unthinkable and treks across Europe to marry a foreign nobleman she's never met. But on her wedding night, she discovers her handsome, enigmatic husband is not the man he claimed to be. Rather than live a lie, she escapes his estate into the darkness. But her husband-ignited by his desire and pride-risks everything to follow her from the depths of the Romanian forests into the decadent heart of Istanbul, where they're forced to confront the sensual passion they've discovered-and the dire threat that could cost them both their lives.
