[Mature Content] Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground.  Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal.

Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.
