The Dark Viscount

Sydony Marchant is suspicious of the maze behind her new home, an old manor house with a sinister history. She's even more suspicious of darkly handsome Bartholomew Hawthorne, and when he arrives on her doorstep, she doesn't know whether to run to him-or away from him.

Viscount Hawthorne hasn't traveled to Oakfield for a friendly visit or to gawk at a garden maze, no matter how eerie it is. He's there to solve a mystery of his own, and he won't be distracted by lovely Sydony Marchant-even if she could be his one weakness.

But Sydony and Samhain may change his mind.

"Simmons grabs readers with a well-crafted Regency-set romance. A stormy, bleak landscape; a dark, unwelcoming manor house and mysterious goings-on in the overgrown ominous maze lend a chilling gothic flavor." - Romantic Times
