Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Ashley
Weaver, when a body is found shot to death after an
unexpected snowstorm, Lily Adler quickly realizes that some
people will stop at nothing to bury their secrets.
Regency widow Lily Adler is looking forward to a
quiet Christmastide away from the schemes and secrets she
witnessed daily in London. Not only will she be visiting the
family of her late husband; she will be reunited with
Captain Jack Hartley, her friend and confidante, finally
returned after a long voyage at sea.
But secrets
aren’t only found in London. Jack’s younger
sister, Amelia, is the center of neighborhood scandal and
gossip. She refuses to tell anyone what really happened,
even when an unexpected snowstorm strands the neighborhood
families together after a Christmas ball. Stuck until the
snow stops, the Adlers, Hartleys, and their neighbors settle
in for the night, only to be awakened in the morning by the
scream of a maid who has just discovered a dead body.
The victim was the well-to-do son of a local
gentleman—the same man whose name has become so
scandalously linked to Amelia’s.
With the
snow still falling and no way to come or go, it’s
clear that someone in the house was responsible for the
young man’s death. When suspicion instantly falls on
Jack’s sister, he and Lily must unmask the true
culprit before Amelia is convicted of a crime she
didn’t commit.
