Perfect for you if...

  • You love Regency romance with actual stakes: mystery, danger, and a heroine who's busy saving other women rather than waiting to be saved.
  • You want a brooding hero who's competent and haunted, not just brooding for aesthetic reasons.
  • You enjoy romance that moves between drawing rooms and dangerous undercover work, where the couple has to trust each other to survive.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn romance where the couple spends most of the book apart; Marcus and Danielle are tangled up almost immediately.
  • You're looking for light, frothy Regency fare without murder investigations and real peril.
  • You don't enjoy dual storylines where romance and mystery plot carry equal weight.

About this book

Marcus Braddock, a former general newly appointed Duke of Hampton, returns from war to find himself grieving his sister Elise's death. Convinced her death was not an accident, he begins investigating—starting with Danielle, Elise's closest friend. Danielle harbors dangerous secrets of her own. She dedicates herself to a charity supporting abused women, the same organization where Elise was working the night she died. When her charitable work places her in mortal danger, Marcus intervenes. Yet as their investigation unfolds, the question of who truly needs rescuing becomes unclear. This series debut combines mystery and romance as an unlikely pair of detectives confront a shadowy organization while uncovering the truth behind a murder.
