The bizarre murder of one of Queen Charlotte's ladies-in-waiting rocks English society and pulls Kendra Donovan into her most dangerous mystery yet.
September 1816-Kendra has finally made it to the altar with Alec, the Marquis of Sutcliffe. Unfortunately, their plans for a honeymoon in Venice must be put on hold when the broken body of Lady Westford is found in a London theater. Lady Westford isn't just a wealthy aristocrat-she's one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting. The official verdict is an accident, but whispers have already begun that it was suicide. Queen Charlotte refuses to believe either scenario and wants Kendra to use her unique investigative skills to uncover the truth.
There's still a lot that the FBI-agent-turned-time-traveler has to learn about life in the early nineteenth century, but even Kendra realizes that you don't say no to royalty.
It's a simple matter for Kendra to conclude Lady Westford was murdered. The aristocrat's life, on the other hand, is far more complicated, beginning with an estranged husband who has another family tucked away.
The husband is always the No. 1 suspect, but the case veers in a strange, new direction when Kendra learns that Lady Westford had visited Dr. Munroe's morgue a few days prior to her murder to view the body of a young woman pulled from the Thames. And that body had been drained of all her blood.
What connects Lady Westford and the exsanguinated body? Determined to find answers, the former FBI agent must venture down a dark and twisty trail, when she is reminded that the path to hell is often paved with good intentions.
