Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only hereβs the thing: Thatβs not how it ended at all.
Β
Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. Iβm the oldest, with the emphasis on βoldββa certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. Itβs not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture itβconstant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out . . . itβs exhausting.
Β
Each time theyβve presented me with a betrothal, Iβve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isnβt so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wivesβall of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I donβt have to . . .
Β
At our betrothal ballβwhere, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sightβI stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? His late wivesβ families, his relatives, his mistress, his servantsβhalf of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer . . . before death lies on me like an untimely frost.
