For fans of Bridgerton
looking for a mysterious twist on the glittering ballrooms of the Regency—a
masterfully plotted story from a USA Today bestselling author that
combines engaging protagonists with rich historical detail and international
intrigue, plus a touch of romance that readers of Amanda Quick and Deanna
Raybourn will savor.
Charlotte, now the Countess of Wrexford, would like
nothing more than a summer of peace and quiet with her new husband and their
unconventional family and friends. Still, some social obligations must be
honored, especially with the grand Peace Celebrations unfolding throughout
London to honor victory over Napoleon.
But when Wrexford and their two young wards, Raven and
Hawk, discover a body floating in Hyde Park’s famous lake, that newfound peace
looks to be at risk. The late Jeremiah Willis was the engineering genius behind
a new design for a top-secret weapon, and the prototype is missing from the
Royal Armory’s laboratory. Wrexford is tasked with retrieving it before it
falls into the wrong hands. But there are unsettling complications to the
case—including a family connection.
Soon, old secrets are tangling with new betrayals, and as
Charlotte and Wrexford spin through a web of international intrigue and
sumptuous parties, they must race against time to save their loved ones from
harm—and keep the weapon from igniting a new war . . .
