He casts a spell that frees her from the cruelty of time and the threat of death-but at a steep price. Impulsively, she takes Knell up on his offer. When her mother arranges a courtship with another man, Senza is desperate for escape from a dull prescripted destiny. All his talk about death, all that teasing about knowing how to avoid it. Heart-thumpingly attractive, obviously eligible-he'd be her perfect match if only he wasn't so macabre.
It's death-and that shadowy spectre haunts her every step. But it's not life that preoccupies her thoughts. Finding a husband shouldn't be difficult, not when she has her entire life before her. Senza Fyne is beautiful, intelligent, and lacks neither wealth nor connections.
In 1860 Surrey, a young woman has only one occupation: to marry. Haunted by a crushing fear of death, a young Victorian woman discovers the secret of eternal youth-she must surrender her life to attain it, and steal heartbeats to keep it.
