A Murder in Mayfair A Victorian Historical Mystery

A brutal murder. A reluctant alliance. Can an arrogant duke and a passionate reformer find a killer before their loved ones are condemned to the gallows? London. 1889. Lady Rosalynd Rosehaven. Fierce advocate of women's causes. Responsible for the upbringing of her beloved brothers and sisters, she considers herself a spinster. The Duke of Steele. A leader at the House of Lords who answers to only himself. A widower who's sworn never to marry again. Although they once worked together to locate a stolen necklace, their paths have not crossed again. But when her cousin is suspected of her husband's murder and the duke's brother is implicated as well, Steele suggests they join forces to investigate the killing. Such an alliance would upset Rosalynd's well-ordered life. She'd found the duke arrogant, aloof, and . . . fascinating. However, she has no choice but to accept his offer. Proving her cousin's innocence takes precedence over her nonsensical misgivings. As they track down clues from the opulent mansions of Mayfair to the sordid streets of St. Giles, they don't lack for suspects. Few had a good opinion of the victim who was considered a swindler, a card sharp, and worse.
