The Night Circus
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors.
When famed London courtesan Alessandra Northrope passes away, her daughter Celia Pennifold inherits little more than a hopelessly contaminated reputation, a house in a middle class neighborhood, and an education that prepared her to take her mother’s place the way Alessandra intended. Celia hopes to make her own life on her own terms, however, and moves into the house only to discover one more legacy—an enigmatic, handsome tenant who knows her mother’s plans for her future rather too well.
Celia Vallerand fears for her life as she stares into the deep,
arresting eyes of the dashing man who purchased her from the brigands
who had abducted her. But it soon becomes clear that it's her virtue,
not her life, that's in danger. The rugged, powerful renegade known
only as "Griffin" arouses desires in Celia as dangerous as they are
forbidden. And though she knows she must resist him, she fears she may
be unable to do so.
But the magnificent adventurer is a man
trapped in a perilous deception. And the shocking secrets he guards
could deny him the love of the fair captive lady who has enslaved his
reckless heart.
