[In progress] [35k] [dark romance/mystery] The Anatomy of a Gentleman

Hello there! I am currently writing novel and would love some feedback and critiques! Here is the description:

"London, 1889. In a society shared uneasily between humans and beasts, Maria DeRose learned that survival often means knowing her place. Desperate for respectable employment, she accepts a position as a maid to Lord Vincent Wolfsbane; a wealthy, ill-tempered wolf-gentleman whose contempt for company is rivalled only by his talent for making her miserable. But when Maria accidently uncovers the truth of her employers mysterious occupation, she finds herself entangled in an investigation into a brutal string of murders running in London. What begins as an arrangement to preserve her position soon draws Maria further into Vincent's world; and closer to the man beneath his claws, sharp tongue, and carefully guarder reputation.

As suspicion, bickering, and soon mutual ground; gives way into desire. The boundaries between master and servant, human and beast, and propriety and scandel begin to blur. Yet in a society where intimacy between their kind is seen as taboo and unnatural, there was some lines even Vincent Wolfsbane cannot cross without consequences. And with a madman still lurking around London's respectable gentleman, Maria may discover that the most dangerous beasts are not always the one born with claws and sharp teeth."

As a warning, there are some very heavily spicy scenes and dark themes to the novel, so please let me know if you need any further clarification!
