takes place in London in the midst of Western Europe's vampire craze spawned by
the publication of Dr. John Polidori's The Vampyre.
Angelica Winthrop plans to ruin her reputation so she may avoid marriage and become a gothic authoress like her idol, Mary Shelley. Unfortunately, her schemes always backfire and the wedding noose tightens with every escapade. To find inspiration for her next story, she breaks into the home of Ian Ashton, Duke of Burnrath. Ian is the Lord Vampire of London and because of Polidori's story, tongues are wagging and wagers are being made about his nocturnal proclivities.
The duke destroys Angelica's plans by publicly proposing marriage to her in order to save his reputation and to keep her from revealing his secret. Sparks fly as she attempts every impropriety to dissuade him and he retaliates with his skills of seduction.
