You are too shocked by this for me to believe you did away with him, but nor are you the man I supposed you to be...
Remote Cedarton Castle is haunted, so say the rumours. When her former school friend marries the heir to the estate, Eliza Wakefield is provided the opportunity to determine the truth for herself as part of an ill-conceived house party consisting of a coterie of leeches, a body thief, and her former beau.
Mathematician, Jem Whistler is caught in an impossible situation. He's in love with a woman he can't have and owned by a lord who demands things he'd rather not give. There's no way out without sacrificing everything he holds dear.
When an additional threat arises in the form of Cedarton's spectral white lady, Jem and Eliza must combine their wits and wisdom to uncover the malevolent forces haunting Cedarton's shadowy halls, before mischief escalates to murder and their love burns out for good.
Readers of a delicate disposition beware! A Devilish Element weaves a tantalising tale of spicy gothic romance, mystery, and murder. A must-read for fans of creepy castles, quick-witted heroines, and sizzling chemistry.
