"Pride & Prejudice with a murder mystery thrown into the mix and possibly the WORST proposal in history! I was entertained." —Skye, Goodreads

The Viscount Always Knocks Twice

Miss Violet Kent's impulsive ways have landed her in hot water time and again, especially with Richard Murray, Viscount Carlisle, her friend Wickham's starchy older brother. When their animosity culminates in a mortifying accident, Violet vows to stay away from the stuffed shirt—but finds herself trapped with him at a secluded house party. As Richard tries to protect his debt-ridden brother from Violet's influence, the last thing he expects is to find himself ensnared by her charm. Passion ignites in dark corners and secret passageways before their forbidden romance takes an unexpected turn: a guest is discovered dead, and they must join forces to solve the mystery before the murderer strikes again.

"I couldn't have asked for a better book. Violet was perfect, the kind of girl you root for, and Richard is a dream and her perfect match. Funny and super hot." —Donna, Goodreads
