When the Earl's horse almost tramples Susanna in the middle of Hyde Park, Ian embraces the chance encounter as a possibility for redemption, for Susanna’s soon-to-be fiancé is the man Ian holds responsible for the death of his sister.

Advance Praise

"What a fascinating mystery wrapped up in romance! The author has written a fun, yet compelling story that is intriguing and will undoubtedly hold one’s attention until the villains are found and the mystery unraveled." - InD'tale Magazine

"Readers who like their Regency romance mixed with a little suspense and mystery will enjoy Taylor's debut. Her heroine is admirably forward-thinking, and her hero's work with the Home Office provides an interesting insight into the beginnings of the police force in England. A surprising twist at the end makes for a thrilling read. Several secondary characters look promising to have their own books in future installments of the Macalisters series." - RT Book Reviews

"The book is unputdownable. It is so incredibly well written and ever little chapter has its own twists. No, this is not your normal stupid regency romance, this is the marriage between an extremely well-written romance book and a great detective novel. Just what I like, love and need!" - Lieze Neven, The Write Way
