Description
Their love brought scandal and demons.
Lucy Easton, an aspiring novelist, will do anything to help boost her chances at publication-including betraying her family. But when she crosses paths with the charismatic Alexander, her aspiration for success pales in comparison to the attraction she feels towards him.
Alexander Melling is a young lawyer from a powerful family, striving to free himself from his father's shadow. The more time he spends with Lucy, the more desperate he becomes to shed the secrets of his past-a past which can destroy both himself and the woman he loves.
While Alexander struggles with his past sins, Lucy must decide whether loving him is worth risking her own safety...and her heart. From gossip magazines to gleaming Mardi Gras balls, Lucy and Alex navigate the Gilded Age in the Deep South with both passion and guilt.
Also included in this new edition is The Possession Chronicles prequel short story "Masked Flaws." Find out how Edmund Easton joined the Mystics of Dardenne society during the 1904 Mardi Gras season.
