Who killed Viscount Beaconberg? Lady Beaconberg’s a prime suspect: the money-grabbing snob of a wife would do anything to get further up the social ladder, and ditching a lowly viscount would free her for marriage to a much more esteemed nobleman. Or perhaps the killer was the viscount’s business partner, Sir Arthur, who’s been arguing in public and in private, desperate to wrest control of the racing stables fully into his own hands. As Theodore Caxton, the Earl of Calaway and his wife Adelia look further into the viscount’s suspicious death, more secrets emerge from the family’s past. Everyone had someone to gain from the murder. How far will the killer go to hide the truth? Theodore’s a man of learning and science; Adelia’s got a gift for reading people and asking the right questions. Together they get dangerously close to the murderer. When events separate them – one on a wild chase across the northern moors of England, the other into the heart of horse racing at York – can they each survive on their own? They cannot afford to be losers in this deadly game of murder, love and money.

Reeling from the death of her parents, eldest daughter Octavia strives to be a source of strength for her sisters. She defies their grandfather’s high-handed meddling—and his desire to see the Staunton girls married. She forges her own path to independence, which leads to the gates of Caswell Hall. There, the governess has just quit her post, leaving a vacant spot in the local lord’s household. Simon, Viscount Althorne, is impressed by the sensible, dark-haired beauty, and hires her to teach his wayward young niece. He resents the loss of his carefree bachelor days, and longs to see the child settled so that he may return to London. But one perfect English summer turns their plans upside down, and he becomes hopelessly drawn to the one woman he cannot have—the governess. Can Simon convince her that he is a gentleman worth loving? Will Octavia allow herself to fall for a man beyond her reach? Or will class and duty separate them forever?

The witty and sensual Desperate Debutantes series continues as one of the Fairchild sisters relies on a false identity to protect her reputation and her heart—from the New York Times bestselling author Julia London. Lady Phoebe Fairchild is well aware that society is appalled by the idea of a young lady of quality involved in a trade. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so when she decides to start selling beautiful handmade gowns, she does so under a fictitious name: Madame Dupree. When she is hired to design ball gowns for the sisters of the Viscount of Summerfield, she completely assumes the false identity. Though in low circumstances, Phoebe is still discomforted in her new position as hired help, but that’s nothing compared to her visceral attraction to the viscount himself. Dashingly handsome and shamelessly seductive, he invites her to be his mistress and Phoebe is shockingly tempted to accept. But as their desire for each other grows and the risk of exposure becomes even greater, Phoebe is in dire danger of losing her reputation, her livelihood—and her chance of becoming the bride of the man whose passion has claimed her forever.
