A Daughter of Fair Verona (Daughter of Montague Book 1)

Rosaline Montague is the eldest daughter of Romeo and Juliet, who did not die in the tomb but are alive and living in Verona with their seven children. At nineteen years old, Rosaline considers herself a spinster and has grown weary of romance after witnessing her parents' constant passionate declarations, arguments, and reconciliations. When her parents arrange betrothals for her, she has made a habit of finding the grooms more suitable brides instead. Her latest match is Duke Stephano, a man who has been married three times before, with each wife meeting an unfortunate end. Unwilling to condemn another woman to that fate, Rosaline seeks an alternative solution. At her betrothal ball, she encounters a young man who intrigues her, but the evening takes a dark turn when she discovers Duke Stephano dead with a dagger in his chest. With many people in Verona having reason to want the Duke dead, and a series of deaths, disappearances, and cases of madness following his murder, Rosaline must investigate to uncover the killer before suspicion falls on her.
