Once a heart is shed in shadow .

Life has been not kind to Mary Chase. But the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals has provided her purpose. Right now she’s been tasked with getting a vicious murderer dubbed the Bishop of Charing Cross. But someone has already been for the case-and the last thing he relishes is certainly a partner.

Only a person who lives in darkness can find it.

Jack Talent continues to be alone with his demons for many years.

He never likely to have the willful Mary Run after assist him around the Bishop case. Their age-old rivalry reaches fresh heights-even as their desire to have one another reaches a fever pitch. Though he aches to bring her close, Jack’s dark secrets certainly are a chasm between them. With dangerous enemies shutting in, Jack must find the strength to face days gone by . . . or risk dropping Mary forever.
