description: A LOVE BETRAYED, A MARRIAGE DESTROYED. A MURDER UNSOLVED.
  
  In the spring of 1844, every decent person in London cowered behind locked doors for fear of becoming the West End Strangler's next victim. Any woman who traveled alone was tempting fate ....
  
  GRAYSON WARE: She was far too impetuous to let the possibility of murder curb her hearty appetite for life. Her hypnotic beauty had captured the hearts of a dozen wealthy suitors, but she refused them all. For her, men were simple amusements -- until the evening a fierce, strapping sea captain swwept her into his arms....
  
  DUNCAN PALMER: This passionate but tortured man refused to confront a legacy of dark secrets and bitter memories. Duncan was an expert in the art of lovemaking -- but was he also a heartless master of murder?
  
  From the top of London's privileged society, filled with decadent nobility and sumptuous parties -- to its poorest slumbs, teeming with whores and cutthroats -- MIDNIGHT LACE is a powerful novel of desire and fear, honor and destiny ... but most of all, it is a tale of unforgettable, undeniable love.
