My Lady Vampire: Book Two — Sahara Kelly

A victim of the European evil known as Therese, Sir Nicholas Blaine has descended to the very portals of hell. He has no life, no hope and barely sixpence left. Something is calling him south, and on the way he stumbles on a strange situation involving highwaymen and their leader, an intriguing masked figure.
Hiding his condition, Nick travels on to meet up with a woman from his past, a wanton aristocrat he'd as soon avoid. But interaction is inevitable and to his surprise he realizes he knows one of her retinue.
Verity Chandler is stunned to see Nick Blaine after so many years. She'd been a teenager when she fell in love with him - but that child is long gone. Verity is doing what she must to survive, but she has no idea that Nick is now doing much the same.
Passion flares and together they learn they have one thing in common - a passion for the erotic mixture of pleasure and pain.
Together they join forces, only to end up in a place Nick could never have imagined. He has to choose between the lesser of two evils and the wrong path could end everything for both of them.
But once the choice is made, they continue Nick's journey south and end up at a quiet Hampshire estate…St. Chesswell's. Why? Maybe it's because there are others there who share this agony. And perhaps Fate is gathering her forces to take on the true villainess - Therese…
