The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla: A Pink Carnation Novel

The indomitable Sally Fitzhugh is not one to be put off by a challenge, even one that involves an overgrown garden and a suspected vampire. She doesn't believe in ghosties or ghoulies, but when she stumbles upon the reclusive Duke of Belliston at Belliston Hall, he does seem rather pale. Lucien has other things on his mind as the blonde woman confronts him on his own property. The gall. Recently home from a self-imposed nine-year exile following his parents' murders, Lucien isn't surprised at the sanguinary rumors, considering his Martinique-born mother had been labeled a witch. Then a woman is found dead on Lucien's uncle's balcony during a ball, with apparent puncture marks on her neck. Throw in talk of French spies, lethal botanical specimens, and a pet stoat, and all heck breaks loose. Can love be far behind?
