Lord Of Lingering Shadows: The Elements Club: Segment 1 (Volume 1)

She is outrageous! Lord Ashton Gray is not amused with Scarlet Ruby Müller. Starting with her street-side, reverse marriage proposal, to her habit of sucking on metal rings; from her mysterious Ghost Guardian, to her insane Mining, Minerals and Mayhem party; she is an audacious upstart who is now seeking entrance into his beloved Elements Club! Scarlet Ruby is no fool. A woman bent on revenge, she knows that Lord Gray’s club, a London-based investment group dedicated to scientific endeavors, holds the key to her cherished older brother’s death and to the men seeking to take over her family’s mining company. As the founder of the Elements Club, what could Lord Gray be hiding? For a tranquil-loving vegetarian, the man is a more than proficient knife fighter. And for a self-proclaimed tame botanist and cultivator of wheat strains, why does he collect poisons? Willing to risk everything, including her reputation, Scarlet seeks answers. When the worlds of gemstones and flowers collide, who will emerge victorious in the quest for truth?
