Charlotte Arkendale knew all there was to know about men. After all, she’d made a career out of steering marriage-minded women away from untrustworthy members of the opposite sex.
Yet nothing could have prepared her for Baxter St. Ives–an arresting stranger too daring, too determined, too dangerous to be her new man-of-affairs. Still, perhaps he was the perfect person to help Charlotte investigate the recent murder of one of her clients. So she gave him a chance, never realizing that Baxter, a gifted scientist, would soon conduct a risky exploration into the alchemy of desire, with Charlotte as his subject.
But even as he sets out to seduce Charlotte, a twisted killer lies in wait, ready to part the lovers…or see them joined together forever–in death.

Summary
Overall I found the story line to be fun. The characters were engaging and intersting both the main characters; Charolette and Baxter and the supporting characters.
You cannot help but like Charolette and Baxter. I would love to see them make another appearance in future books. The book had romance, mystery and some funny moments. I
recommend for a fun read.
Violence A murder, some fighting, acid burns, fire. Nothing disturbing or described in vivid detail.
Language Some curse words but nothing crude. Ex Damnation and hell are most frequently used.
Sexual Approximately four scenes that are well written. They are described in varying degrees of detail.
Drug & Alcohol Some drinking of brandy and champagne. A demonstration of mesmerism with incense.
