Forced to choose between an unhappy betrothal and marriage or becoming penniless and destitute, Eleanor Teague jumps at the chance for something more. Madame Mortimer and her Rooksgrave Manor are everything Eleanor’s friend, Esther, promised they would be. Living in the manor unlocks primal urges even Eleanor herself hadn’t realized she possessed—and she thought herself well aware of her own appetites. Eleanor finds herself keeping company with Sterling Cawley, a ghostly man with unique desires, as well a demonic being so utterly different from any human man that she may never be the same. But it’s not until Madame Mortimer enables Eleanor’s late fiancé, Leopold, to visit her chambers that she realizes exactly how much the manor is capable of. Why would she ever want to leave? =============== Eleanor: A New Beginning is the first in a new, fast-burn, reverse harem series by Penelope Wren. This thrilling, yet steamy novella is written in the style of gothic romance and penny dreadfuls.
