The Seduction of an Unknown Lady

February 15, 2008
F.J. Sparrow's latest riveting Gothic tale, "Demon of Dartmoor", has all of London waiting for the next installmentand wondering who the author could be! All, that is, except respectable bookseller Fiona Josephine Hawkes, who spends part of her nights walking the streets and plotting her chilling pseudonymous adventures. Fiona's night rambles have not gone unnoticed, and when she accosts Lord Aidan McBride with her umbrella, they begin a funny, fiery, antagonistic relationship that can only end one waywith love. But Aidan is not Fiona's only night watcher; a single-minded stalker is out to make her life become more like the stories she pens. Steamy sensuality and sassy repartee sizzle across the pages of James's latest page-turner, which takes a plucky heroine and a marvelously wounded hero, tosses in a few dark secrets along with a hefty dash of danger, and lets the adventure begin. The story links to James's "The Secret Passion of Simon Blackwell".
