For 120 years the debate has raged, Who was Jack the Ripper? Why did he kill those he killed? What was his motive? Why did he stop? And most importantly, Was he ever caught? In Night Falls Darkly, Ms. Lenox explores those questions and gives a whole new idea about what might have happened, who he might have been and what his motives might have been.
Added into this fascinating new idea on who or what Jack the Ripper might have been, is the story of Elena Whitney and Archer, Lord Black. Elena wants to be a doctor in 1888 Victorian England, an almost unheard of occupation, but she’s also a beautiful young woman with connections to some of Jack’s murder victims. Archer, Lord Black is Elena’s guardian, and an immortal Shadow Guard charged with finding and reclaiming Jack’s evil soul. Along the way Archer and Elena fall in love, and Jack figures it out. Putting Elena directly into Jack’s path.
This is the first work by Ms. Lenox and first in the Shadow Guards series. It is excellently done and will pull you in from first page to last. Based on this first work I foresee a bright and shining future for Ms. Lenox.
Pick this work up and you won’t be able to put it down, and you’ll have a new name for your list of “must read authors”.

A new voice in paranormal romance...
A brand-new chilling saga....
A cunning immortal who's been called upon to reclaim a marked soul...
Ever since an accident took away her memory, Miss Elena Whitney can't recall the secrets of her own past. All she knows is that with her mysterious benefactor Archer, Lord Black, returning to London at the behest of Queen Victoria, she should seize the chance to get some answers.
A member of the immortal Shadow Guard, Archer has been summoned to London to eliminate the soul of an evil demon—Jack the Ripper. Archer feels not only bound to protect the women of the night, but also his beautiful young ward, Elena, whom he spared from death two years before. But with a wave of panic spreading across London, Archer fears that Elena is his weakness—a distraction he can't afford, especially since she's likely to become the Ripper's next target...
