Deadly Engagement
It's 1763. Career diplomat Alec Halsey returns to London and the shocking news his estranged elder brother, the Earl of Delvin, has not only killed his friend in a duel but become engaged to the woman he had hoped to marry. The dead man's mother is convinced her son was murdered and wants Alec to prove it. Hoping to learn more about the suspect duel, Alec reluctantly attends a weekend house party to celebrate his brother's engagement. The house guests get more than they bargained for when a lady's maid is murdered, the bride-to-be attacked, and a guest is found shot dead. Alec's investigations uncover a connection between these sinister acts, his brother's duel, and the wrongful hanging of a master apothecary. Alec must also confront a cruel twist of fate that explains why his brother loathes him and will go to any lengths to discredit him in Polite Society. If you love Sebastian St. Cyr and Julian Kestrel novels then you'll love this "crimance" (crime with lashings of romance).
