Romance Suspense | Romance Historical

It's 1763 and career diplomat Alec Halsey returns to London to the shocking news his estranged elder brother, the Earl of Delvin, has not only killed his best friend in a duel, but become engaged to the woman Alec had hoped to marry. The dead man's mother is convinced her son was murdered and wants Alec to prove it. Alec reluctantly attends a weekend house party to celebrate his brother's engagement, hoping to learn more about the suspect duel, when the house guests get more than they bargained for. A lady's maid is murdered, the bride-to-be is attacked, and a house guest is found shot dead. Alec's investigations uncover a connection between these sinister acts, his brother's duel, a recently raided male brothel, and the wrongful hanging of a master apothecary. Alec is also forced to confront a cruel twist of fate that explains why his brother loathes him and will go to any lengths to discredit him in Polite Society.
