Lightning Unbound — Lynne Connolly

What the heart wants, it finds a way to take.

When Gerard Sterling, Earl of Ellesmere, races to Bethlehem Hospital-also known as Bedlam-to rescue a wrongly committed friend, he's astonished to hear a voice in his head that doesn't belong to his sister, with whom he shares a mind link. Fascinated and enchanted by Lady Faith Bradley, inspired by her dedication saving her brother from the horrors of the Incurables ward, he includes them both in his rescue mission. But woo her he cannot-not with a fatal disease that saps more of his strength every day. Faith would slay dragons to keep her brother safe from her father's scheme to set his simpleminded heir aside. But it's Gerard, who feels the hot breath of death down his neck, who wins her heart. Then it is revealed that Gerard is none other than the reincarnation of Zeus, and they face a far more dangerous enemy-Kronos, whose plan to regain power includes Gerard's death. To foil his plan, Gerard and Faith must hold firm to the power of love...and defy Fate itself.

Warning: Be careful-beautiful clothes, perfect manners and heat between the sheets are bound to keep you awake at night
