A Whisper of Death (2024)
(Raven & Wren, book 1)
Darcy Burke
"Briskly paced and sharply plotted, with smart, compelling characters and an intriguing psychic twist, A WHISPER OF DEATH is the launch book for what promises to be a terrific historical mystery series. I loved it!"
thumb
A Daughter of Fair Verona (2024)
(Daughter of Montague, book 1)
Christina Dodd
"A sharp, determined heroine, a clever historical mystery, sparkling wit, a unique setting, family drama and a dash of romance."
thumb
Miss Lattimore's Letter (2021)
Suzanne Allain
"Suzanne Allain delivers a fresh, spirited take on the classic Regency romp. Mr. Malcolm's List is a delightful tale that perfectly illustrates the enduring appeal of the Regency romance. It's all here—the fast, witty banter, the elegant ballrooms, the quirky characters, the charming, strong-willed heroine and the dashing hero who has a thing or two to learn about love."
