Lady Notorious
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"Effervesces with romance . . . Moving and complex characters highlight this novel . . . Regency fans will enjoy this stirring adventure." —Publishers Weekly
Cassandra Benton has always survived by her wits and wiles, even working for Bow Street alongside her twin brother. When injury takes him out of commission, Cass must support the family by taking on an intriguing new case: George, Lord Northbrook, believes someone is plotting to kill his father, the Duke of Ardmore. Decades before, the duke was one of ten who formed a wager that would grant a fortune to the last survivor. But someone can't wait for nature to take its course—and George hopes a seasoned investigator like Cass can find out who.
Cass relishes the chance to spy on the ton, shrewdly disguised as handsome Lord Northbrook's notorious "cousin." What she doesn't expect is her irresistible attraction to her dashing employer, and days of investigation soon turn to passionate nights. But with a killer closing in and her charade as a lady of the ton in danger of collapsing at any moment, Cass has no choice but to put her life—and her heart—in the hands of the last man she ought to trust . . .
"An exceptional book; where wonderfully complex characters, a classic English mystery, and an exquisite romance are woven into an elegant tapestry of colors, tastes, and sounds." —Fresh Fiction
"Superbly written . . . It successfully delivers well-developed, refreshingly different characters; an inventive plot richly imbued with danger and desire; and plenty of bold sensuality." —Booklist
"A refreshing historical romance featuring a partnership between equals." —Kirkus Reviews

A female investigator agrees to help a nobleman who fears his father might have been murdered.Cassandra Benton is an essential part of her twin brother Charles' success as a Bow Street Runner. George, Lord Northbrook, has hired them to help solve a perplexing mystery. Forty years earlier, George's father, the Duke of Ardmore, entered into a financial pact with 10 friends; each member contributed an equal sum to a pool of investment funds, and the last one alive will inherit the entire amount. However, three men in the pact have died under suspicious circumstances in the past year. When Cass' brother breaks his leg and can no longer work, Cass feels the weight of responsibility for keeping the family afloat. Fearing for his father's life, George agrees that Cass should continue to work on the case alone. He hatches a plot to pass her off as a cousin, allowing her entrance to the ton where they can quietly investigate which of the remaining members might have a motive to commit murder. Romain (Lady Rogue, 2018, etc.) deftly weaves together the romance and mystery plots in this pleasing, enjoyable novel. Both characters grapple with dilemmas of family and identity. George focuses on scientific experiments as a distraction from his parents' addictions. Of particular note, Cass' character arc is carefully crafted, believable, and wholly feminist. No longer content with a pattern of "saving" her brother and putting men first, Cass is determined to focus on her own goals, needs, and happiness. Although they are from different classes, George can't help but be attracted to a woman as competent and self-assured as Cass, but can she keep her newfound independence while entangled in a romantic relationship with George?A refreshing historical romance featuring a partnership between equals.COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
