Nell and Julian have to marry each other to prevent a big scandal. They both aren't happy with the situation, but they are able to live together. Slowly, they start to fall in love. But Nell is having really bad nightmares. Who is the killer in her dreams?
It is a very romantic story, but there's also a bit of mystery involved. I didn't guess who the killer from her dreams was, until the very end. It was a good combination. The characters were lovely and they seemed very nice. The story was easy to read, I couldn't stop myself after the first 100 pages.

I loved this book the story was perfect lots of mystery and suspense and the romance betweeen the characters was not your typical romance
a gothic psychological thriller that could have been just better considering the two passionate lead.
Not as good as I expected...but worth a read.
