Well Met by Gaslight

Book excerpt: Somewhere in England, in the mid 19th century, a handsome but disreputable man is hired to assault a young woman. This ill-conceived plan immediately falls to ruins when he attacks the wrong person--an angry young lady with a fondness for violence, who is not afraid to speak her mind, at length. Discovering that there is much more afoot than first meets the eye, the most unlikely duo become improbable and uneasy partners as they seek to confront the plot's evil mastermind. Their plans may not proceed as expected, but they may still manage to escape a night neither will forget alive, and perhaps even together. A slightly dark Victorian anti-romance in 10,000 words, Ill Met by Gaslight is a touching if disturbing tale of ego, arrogance, and familial violence sure to entertain and delight young and old alike.
