Lady Catherine Kersall knows her odds of marrying well are lower than her chances of turning lead into gold. But when Catherine discovers the dashing Marquess of Fauconer is suffering from a ruinous venereal affliction, she concocts a cure requiring the rarest ingredient of her own maiden blood.
John Starling never expected salvation to come from a demure wallflower. Her illicit treatment does more than restore his health — it awakens a feral craving for the prim little scientist.
But when the marquess’s teeth lengthen and his appetite turns bloodthirsty, Catherine must ask what else did she awaken in him?
The Marquess and the Maiden Sacrifice is an unapologetically filthy, fast-burning, bite-sized 12,000-word Regency romance featuring an untouched lady scientist, a rake in desperate need of relief, gloved mutual indulgence, occult side effects, and the most indecent application of the scientific method ever recorded.
