Chapter 1
Framingham House, Hertfordshire, December 1888
What young lady didn't love to attend balls? Particularly ones held in the glittering London residence of a nobleman?
This girl, that's who.
Ever since the invitation had come from our new friend, Mrs Beaufort, I'd dreaded going. I'd never been to a ball, never attended a soiree, assembly or the theatre. It's difficult to make your debut while locked in an attic. What made my anxiety worse was knowing that I didn't deserve to attend - I was nobody with both feet firmly on the lowest rung of society's ladder. All the other guests would be so grand and important, like the Beauforts themselves. I kept sneaking peeks at the invitation to check whether it was a mistake, but there was my name in bold, sweeping strokes: Hanna Smith.
My friend, Sylvia Langley, was not so worried. She twirled around the entrance hall of Frakingham House, humming a tune she claimed was a waltz, but sounded more like a hive of angry bees. She'd tried teaching me the steps, but gave up after I stood on her toes for the fifth time. Dancing was not one of my talents.

Résumé
Time is running out for Hannah. With her life hanging by a thread and Tate trying to kidnap her, she finds help in an unusual quarter - the man who put the narcoleptic memory block on her as a child. Yet the powerful hypnotist may not be all that he seems. It's difficult to trust a man who regularly hypnotizes his wife against her wishes, and who is much too interested in Jack's unnatural abilities.
With so much at stake, the last thing Hannah and Jack need is to be apart. Yet they cannot touch each other if they want to stay alive.
This thrilling conclusion to the 1st Freak House Trilogy will take you on an emotional roller coaster with twists, turns, highs and lows that will leave you gasping for breath.
