Since her mother's murder four years ago, Lady Jillian
Daventry has immersed herself in the study of criminology
with the intent of uncovering the facts behind her mother's
death. Jillian possesses an eye for detail that serves her
well and has a prominent Bow Street runner confidentially
contacting her regarding his most puzzling cases. After her
fiancé jilts her for working in crime, she conceals her
efforts from her family and society. Her family wants the
scandal to fade into distant memory, so Jillian and her
sister can make advantageous marriages. But Jillian can't
let the past go until she can find her mother's true
killer.
Connor Monroe, a former street urchin, transforms himself
into a successful businessman. His harrowing and abusive
childhood and the tragedy of his brother's death gave him a
powerful motivation to succeed and to never be at anyone's
mercy. As he betters himself, Connor has made a new family
consisting of people who aided him. Now those people are
dying mysteriously. Unable to supply Bow Street with
motives for the deaths, they look for the simplest
solution. Connor rejects their conclusions and barters a
tentative agreement with a Bow Street consultant, Lady
Jillian Daventry.
Upon meeting, Jillian and Connor feel a powerful attraction
that grows as they work together to uncover the killer. In
the middle of a murder investigation, a romance between a
society lady and an unsuitable suitor is impossible. Or is
it?
Talented newcomer Kimberly Logan cements her place
as an author to watch in her second novel, SINS OF
MIDNIGHT, the first in a trilogy. She combines romance and
mystery equally with sufficient red herrings to keep
readers off balance and guessing. One killer is exposed,
while another is left in the background awaiting her next
tale.
I’ve made a vow to avoid scandal, but my best
intentions cannot withstand the heat of pure passion and
the...SINS OF MIDNIGHT
My unladylike association with the Bow Street Runners has
made me fair game for London’s loose-tongued rumormongers,
but I, Lady Jillian Daventry, promise to behave—at least
until my sister’s coming out season has concluded. But my
vow will not keep me from solving the mystery that
overshadows my life—nor, I reluctantly admit, will it keep
my heart from racing madly in the presence of Connor
Monroe.
I cannot ignore Connor’s request for assistance in solving
a mystery of his own. But the hungry fire of his gaze and
the heat of his touch suggest the irresistibly handsome
rogue wants so much more… I know I’m venturing onto
dangerous ground, but I’m so very tempted by his sinful
kiss.
Lady Jillian Daventry
