Lord Edmund Hennessy

Lord Augustus Bloomington
The sound of Celestineโs laughter brought an instant smile to Augustusโ face. After her little outburst earlier, he was concerned that her mood would be difficult to raise, but already she had reverted back to her sweet...

Lady Euphemia Pembroke

Lord Solomon Davenport
The Davenport patriarch had a heavy job on his hands, attending yet another ball with his troublesome children. From his daughterโs ill health and misfortune to his sonsโ rakish behaviours and general inadequacy, they...

Jane Porter
A second man appeared then, one that Jane knew to be Klaus. Their eyes locked as the man bent down to call to her and Arabella through the window. Though it was closed, she could just about hear him tell them that they were going to help them...

Lord Edmund Hennessy
Almost the second he had asked the young woman to dance, her friend spoke up to defend her. She made a pointed reference to the inhuman way his father had addressed her, and reminded her that she didnโt have to accept. It...

En route through Wales
Lord Edmund Hennessy
The rain pelted against the window, the heavy droplets jumping across the glass with each jostle of the carriage. Wales seemed so far to equal Ireland in its poor weather. The countryside stretched uninterrupted all the way up...

Lord Augustus Bloomington
โDo you find it to your liking, my lord?โ
Augustus stood before the mirror in his dressing room, eyeing his reflection. He had recently purchased a new cobalt blue dress coat for the royal ball that Queen Charlotte...

Even keeping her leg off the ground as she moved, each time Shona hauled her body a little further along the gravel made her gruesome wound throb in agony. She was in so much pain that she...

Syd Porter & Shona King
Not knowing where Jane was at a time like this was hard for Syd to take. She wasnโt in the burning building he was currently in, but that was hardly a relief when the alternative could be just as dangerous or worse. He could only hope it wasnโt too late for her, that...

Deep down, Syd knew he had to hold it together. But once he started getting upset, it was near impossible to stop himself from spiralling. There wasnโt time for grounding exercises or breathing techniques; he was barrelling through the streets at 70 miles per...

Syd Porter
The driving wasn't a problem. It was the roads. For over 40 years Syd had been driving, fixing, modifying, even hot-rodding vehicles both for fun and for business, be it legitimate or not. He knew the roads across much of Ireland, New York - even Berlin. But...

Even though he had focused on Klausโ suggestion to call a search party just long enough to bark a single command at him, Sydโs thoughts were flying so fast that his attention moved on almost immediately, leaving Klaus and Spencer to discuss the...

The vicious laughter from Julia and Damian elicited a scowl from Shona, and she tightened her hold on Collin when she felt him flinch. Damian began to explain to her why only sending a threat was not enough of a message. That they never did...
