What was even more amazing to the Earl was that people cared enough to stop him from being killed. As he recovers from a vicious attack by thugs, Julian was shocked to learn that Lord Sir Leopold Wherlocke of Starkley and his beautiful dark-haired cousin, Chloe Wherlocke, had been watching over him for three years. As the Earl became so depraved in his actions, they were afraid they could no longer keep up their vigilance. Forced into telling him everything, they confess that the only way they can save Julian is to let him "die!"

Heartened by their concern, Julian is soon given a very special reason to live and one that that helps restores his broken faith in others and with his family. As events unfold, he also learns more about Chloe's special gifts. It was her psychic powers of intuitive "knowings" and visions about the shocking future that would unfold if the Wherlockes didn't intervene and take action to stop them. But, when Chloe loses her heart to Julian, she can't see the her future! Her visions are only those filled with horror and violence. Would the path to love for her heart be forever blocked? Could Julian accept her for she is? But what earl would look so far down from his own class!

Hannah Howell never disappoints, however, she has truly outdone even her own strong reputation with this powerful and suspenseful love story! In between the story of Chloe's attraction to Julian, Howell has weaved in some mysterious wisps about Leo's work in the Home Office as well as dropping intriguing hints about the other Wherlockes and the hidden talents of their close cousins, the Vaughns. I do hope this story multiples -- like rabbits! A wicked love story not to be missed!
