A resurrected soldier. A debutante with a gambler’s heart. A romance that begins with a deathbed promise and dares to defy the grave.
A sensual Regency Gothic Romance about a fallen captain jolted back to life by science gone too far, and the daring young woman who stakes her whole future on him. He came home to bury his secret beneath duty and high collars and she refuses to look away.
She never shows the table her fear.
Miss Ophelia Clarke is the perfect English rose, and a gamester who plays to win. But her sensible hand has collapsed: her betrothed is dying, her father has fled to the Americas after a ruinous stake, and she carries a secret no amount of bluffing can hide. When her intended’s brother returns from Waterloo, presumed dead, scarred, and buttoned to the throat, accepting him is the only play she has left.
He already died once.
Captain Damian Archer fell at Waterloo. He woke on an anatomist’s slab, stitched together and struck back to life, a resurrection no one must ever discover. Bound by his dying brother’s last wish, the reluctant new Baron Archer intends to do his duty: wed the betrothed, protect her, and never let her learn the truth because a dead man has no right to love.
But Ophelia will not fold, and the madman who made him has followed his creation to England to reclaim his work.
What begins as a marriage of convenience becomes a game neither can afford to lose. But as desire grows and the last defenses come undone, the baron must decide whether love is worth the risk of coming back to life?
Baron Bolt is Book Four of the Midnight Brides series, standalone and sensual Regency fantasy romances where monsters hide in plain sight, love demands courage, and redemption is hard-won. Each book guarantees an emotionally satisfying happily-ever-after.
