He's The Man With The Magic Touch
A master of deduction, seduction and other midnight maneuvers, Phaeton Black is Scotland Yard's secret weapon against things that go bump in the night. His prodigious gifts as a paranormal investigator are as legendary as his skills as a lover, his weakness for wicked women as notorious as his affection for absinthe. But when he's asked to hunt down a fanged femme fatale who drains her victims of blood, he walks right into the arms of the most dangerous woman he's ever known. . .
She's The Devilish Miss Jones
Pressing a knife to his throat—and demanding he make love to her—Miss America Jones uses Phaeton as a willing shield against the gang of pirates chasing her. As deadly as she is, with a derringer tucked in her garter, Miss Jones is not the vampiric killer he's been staking out—but she may be just what Phaeton needs to crack the case. As the daughter of a Cajun witch, she possesses uncanny powers. As a fearless fighter, she can handle anything from Egyptian mummies to Jack the Ripper. But when an ancient evil is unleashed on the world, she could be his only salvation. . .or ultimate sacrifice.

Erotic romance? Paranormal thriller? Sherlock Holmes pastiche? Steampunk adventure? Stone (An Affair with Mr. Kennedy) wants it all, and the results, while mildly entertaining, don’t convince. Phaeton Black, occasional detective for Scotland Yard and lodger in 1889 London’s most notorious brothel, is chasing a supernatural killer in between amorous bouts. He is startled and intrigued by the brazen advances of America Jones, self-described “high yellow Cajun Louisiana,” fleeing the pirates who stole her father’s ships. Since she’s also a witch, she has more than sex to trade for Phaeton’s assistance in recovering the ships—though the sex is included, of course. The pair pursue their ill-assorted goals through a colorful assortment of locations and a remarkable number of explosions. A description of Jack the Ripper as “naughty and dangerous” captures the book’s main weakness: lightness of tone shading into juvenile flippancy. Agent: Richard Curtis, Richard Curtis Associates.
