Book Description
“Pure unadulterated fun” (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver, Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award-winning Countess of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian England with a touch of romance, an appealing and independent female lead, and rich historical detail. In this charming fifth installment, Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by murder . . . On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor, Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the wedding may end up being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. On the day itself, Frances is relieved to note that Madeline’s father is not among the guests assembled at the church. The reason for his absence, however, turns out to be most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene, holding the murder weapon. Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies alongside his fortune. Frances and George agree to put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name. But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the Bainbridge and Connor families, but also in their own. And with a killer determined to evade discovery at any cost—even if it means taking another life—Frances’s first days as a newlywed will be perilous indeed . . .

A free luxury wedding gives two strangers a second chance at love in this charming contemporary romance novel in the Charton Minster series. Cat Aston thought she hit the jackpot when she won a fairytale wedding in a luxury hotel. But now that her finance has run out on her, her dreams of wedded bliss have turned into a nightmare. But still, no woman in her right mind would turn down a free wedding of a lifetime. Now she just needs to find a groom . . . Adam Lawley was left devastated when his girlfriend turned down his heartfelt proposal and he’s vowed to never love again. But something keeps pulling him toward Cat. They’ve both been burned by love—so why can’t they stop thinking about each other? It might be too good to be true, or it just might be their second chance for true love—complete with a happily ever after. “In this wildly passionate, touching and sometimes funny story, James portrays two brokenhearted souls who connect and magically find a way to love again. Most of the book has an offbeat, almost fairy-tale feel, but it’s uplifting and satisfying. James spins her story with hope in mind, and her characters help us believe in castles in the air without equivocation.” —RT Book Reviews

Rescuing a beautiful woman and her friends from two street thugs isn’t exactly on Aedan’s list of to-dos, but he can’t just walk away. Rosalyn Thomas is sweet—so not the right kind of girl for him.
