Lady Kiera Darby plans to spend the summer reconnecting with friends and family in anticipation of the upcoming nuptials of her beloved brother. But when a future in-law is implicated in a murder, the party takes a deadly turn. . . . nJuly 1833. Lady Darby and her dashing husband, Sebastian Gage, are settling into their newly renovated home at Bevington Park in Warkwickshire with their young daughter. With the breach between them and Sebastians father recently healed, theyve agreed to help host a country house party for friends and family to share in their joy. Kiera is also anxious to help promote a match between her brother, Trevor, and the woman hes fallen in love with, inviting her family to join them. However, Kiera swiftly discovers that the would-be brides family is not without their detractions. Her brother is unpleasant. Her mother is abrasive. And her father--the prosperous industrialist Jeremiah Birnam--is brusque, discourteous, and, at times, downright rude. n nSo when Mr. Birnams secretary is found murdered with Birnam standing over her body, many are content to allow him to take the blame. But neither Kiera nor Sebastian believes he did it, and in spite of his bluster and boorish behavior, they cant let an innocent man be hung for anothers crime. Unfortunately, Birnam had his fair share of enemies at the house party, and any one of them might have struck out at his secretary in order to get to him. Its up to Kiera and Sebastian to uncover the truth and salvage Birnams reputation. As the couple slowly inches their way closer to the truth and threats emerge against their loved ones, Kiera begins to wonder if solving the crime means sacrificing her brothers future happiness and must decide if thats a price shes willing to pay.n
