Book excerpt: What connects a jilted bride, the death of a miser, and an eccentric businessman? Fireworks – perhaps. Or maybe the answer is simple. After all, when old Mr Spenning died, his widow inherited everything. But she does not live a life of ease and luxury now. Instead, she huddles in a draughty old house on the wild east coast of England. She hates and shuns the locals; they return the sentiment. Lord and Lady Calaway are called to investigate the truth behind the miser’s death. It happened a year ago, and clues are rare, but other strange occurrences in the area suggest that the next victim could be closer to home. The answers lie in the deep dark waters of the Norfolk Broads – but stretch out to the British colonies in Hong Kong. The murderer knows the net is tightening and they have nothing more to lose. The truth is explosive. Literally. The Lady’s Scandalous Secret is the seventh book in Issy Brooke’s Victorian murder mystery series, The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway. If you are looking for authentic British history with a dash of humour and a traditional style, then you’ll love this new novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrified of men from a young age, Lady Tabitha Maxwell has hidden in the shadows nearly all of her life. Tabby has since grown beyond that fear, but she still prefers the safety the darkness offers, especially since she has no wish to do as her father commands and marry her reprobate cousin. Her anonymity has also allowed her to cultivate a very successful – and extremely secret – career as the notorious gossip columnist, Lady A. Lord Joshua Bradford, the second son of the Marquess of Nye, is in something of a bind. A former navy man, Josh has been summoned home after his wastrel brother, Giles, perishes in a duel, leaving Josh as the heir. Now, Josh is in need of a wife – quickly – since it is quite possible Giles already sired an heir with an unsuitable woman. The task of finding a bride, however, would be a good deal easier if Josh could convince Lady A to cease writing about him in her infernal column. One night, Josh discovers Tabby’s secret and threatens to expose her. If he reveals the truth about Lady A, he can stop the rumors and finally find a proper wife. However, doing so will cost Tabby everything and leave her an outcast, something he isn’t certain he desires. Does Josh remain silent about what he knows, reveal the truth, or can he make a deal with the notoriously skittish Tabby and force her to find him a suitable bride so that they can both have what they most desire? This 131,500 word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Alice has formed a tender attachment to Amelia, the maid in their employ, and her affection is returned. But before meeting Alice, Amelia was involved with Cate Levitton, daughter of a well-respected family. The scandalous liaison caused the Levittons to banish Cate to the house of her widowed cousin. Amelia has no expectation of seeing Cate again—until she stumbles upon her in the marketplace, looking deathly ill. The women bring Cate to their home with the help of Bow Street officer Adam Harkness, who deduces that Cate’s sickness may in fact be arsenic poisoning. But who had motive, or means? As Rosalind and Adam work side by side, their suspicions grow—as does the bond between them. Rosalind knows that both her blossoming relationship with Adam and her increasing independence would be frowned upon by society. Poison, politics, jealousy and jewel thieves combine in Rosalind’s most complex case yet. But to solve this dangerous puzzle, Rosalind must also decide where her heart and her future lie . . .

Book excerpt: "[Manda] Collins is a delight" (Elizabeth Hoyt) in this fun and flirty historical rom-com, where an intrepid female reporter matches wits with a serious, sexy detective -- perfect for fans of Tessa Dare, Julia Quinn, and Netflix's Enola Holmes! England, 1865: Newspaper columnist Lady Katherine Bascomb finds herself the subject of speculation when her latest article leads to an arrest in the murders plaguing London. The English believe women ought not to write about such vulgar things as crime, and a particularly attractive detective inspector is incensed that she's interfered with his investigation. To escape her sudden notoriety, Katherine heads to the country-only to witness a murder upon her arrival. Detective Inspector Andrew Eversham is appalled when Lady Katherine entangles herself in one of his cases-again. Her sensationalist reporting already nearly got him kicked off the police force, and he'll be damned if he permits her to meddle a second time. Yet, her questions are awfully insightful, and he can't deny his attraction to both her beauty and brains. As the clues point to a dangerous criminal, the two soon realize their best option is working together. But with their focus on the killer lurking in the shadows, neither is prepared for the other risk the case poses-to their hearts.
