His Wicked Shadow: The Sins of Our Fathers, A Dark Historical Romance

A dark historical romance.

When the elderly and wheelchair-bound Earl of Lincoln is found unconscious in the rain, nobody can understand how he got there. Seven years later, his son falls to his death amid rumours of madness. Aged just 19, James Elliot is forced to shoulder the burden of the title, and all it carries with it.

Elinor Montague has been in love with James since they were both children. She helped him as he mourned his father and grandfather, and if he occasionally acted a little strangely, she was prepared to ignore it. After a few glasses of champagne at a masked ball, things heat up between Ellie and James, and she’s convinced it’s love. He, on the other hand, runs off to Europe the following day and doesn’t come back for two years.

When James tries to woo the newly wealthy Ellie on his return, a string of strange accidents begin to befall them both. While she tries to remain aloof, Ellie finds herself drawn to James once more, but refuses to give in until she finds out what he’s hiding– and solves the mystery of the shadow that has hung over his life.
