Firelight by Kristen Callihan
Miranda was born with a gift she
sees as a curse; she has the ability to summon fires and to make things
suddenly heat and burn. She now has
control over her power but not in time to save her father’s warehouse and keep
them from ruin. Destitute and desperate
she is wed to the notorious Lord Archer, a man in black who always wears a mask
and is rumored to have committed all sorts of heinous acts. Is he as evil as he is rumored to be? Can she keep her secret and not destroy
anyone else? Can she learn to love him?
This is a retelling of the beauty
and the beast tale with a much darker twist.
The romance parts of the story are very steamy and perfect for fans of
paranormal romance. Set in gaslight
London the dark, dank atmosphere matches perfectly with the dark fantasy
elements. Enough secondary characters
with mysterious backgrounds are introduced that you know there will be sequels
for a long time to come.
