In his letters she finds a sensitive and intelligent man.
Simon Augustus Traherne, Earl of Blade, has a secret in his past that has made him the man he is now. With all of London cowering at his feet he is getting what he has set out to get many years before. He also has the chance to avenge the past. The only person who sees Simon for who and what he truly is and will never cower before him is Emily. She is fast taking his plans that he has had in place for years and turning them upside down. Simon is going to have to decide just what is more important to him, his plans or Emily.

Only time will tell if Emily will be able to tame the dragon or if Simon will let everything come crashing down around him.
