Whispers Beneath the Season. A Regency Paranormal Mystery (en Inglés) - J. T. Ohtani

In the shimmering heat of the London Season, the Countess of Ashford is hailed as a miracle worker. She has matched seventeen couples to date, each more "perfect" than the last. But to Miss Elowen Vane, an artist trained to see the truth beneath the pigment, these couples share a disturbing trait: a vacant, hollow look behind the eyes, as if their very essence is fading.

Elowen came to the capital with a single mission: to secure her younger sister's future. She did not come to hunt ghosts. But when she spots a man at a masquerade ball-a man she knows is dead because she painted his deathbed portrait three years ago-the mystery becomes impossible to ignore.

The obituary was clear. The grave is occupied. Yet, Elowen saw the scar on his neck. And she cannot unsee the truth.

As Elowen peels back the layers of high-society deception, she discovers a predator hiding in plain sight. The ton's most celebrated matchmaker is something ancient and dark-a centuries-old vampire who doesn't crave blood, but feeds on the obsessive, romantic energy of the couples she binds together.

To stop the cycle, Elowen must navigate a labyrinth of shadows alongside the enigmatic Lord Cavendish. Cold, brilliant, and guarding a curse that has haunted him for a decade, Cavendish is watching Elowen far too closely. Is he an ally in the fight against the dark, or is he merely waiting for her to become the next victim?

"She doesn't want your heart. She wants the fire that burns within it."
