  A Sense of Belonging

  Wiltshire, England – Spring 1880

  Second sight – a blessing or a curse?

  Flora Latimer’s exceptional gift of second sight finds disapproval with her clergyman father, resulting in her taking a position as companion to an eccentric Dowager Countess of Swindon. Can Flora use her abilities to prevent the family from being embroiled in scandal and save Luke Beranger, the current earl, from ghosts that have returned to haunt him…

  A Sense of Purpose

  Flora’s ability to control the increasingly eccentric Dowager Countess of Swindon has swiftly made herself indispensable to the entire Beranger family. She revels in the freedom that separation from her puritanical and overbearing father affords her, allowing her natural spirituality to come to the fore.
  When Miranda Defoe, a recently orphaned neighbour, returns to the district, Flora’s sixth sense compels her to protect the young woman from the Coopers, a family which has latched onto Miranda. As the relationship between Miranda and the earl’s brother Charlie progresses beyond their platonic childhood friendship, Miranda’s independence and strength of character puts her innocence at risk.

  It seems that the Coopers will stop at nothing to gain control of Miranda’s fortune. Can Flora and the Berangers come to her aid before her honour is compromised and before the growing threat to her life becomes a reality…

  A Sense of Misgiving

  Flora’s position comes under threat once again – but this time it’s not just her father who wants her removed from Beranger Court. Influential members of the aristocracy join forces to rake up on scandals that could ruin the good name of Luke Beranger, the Earl of Swindon. They seem equally determined to take Flora down too.

  Meanwhile Lady Mary, Luke’s younger sister, is being assiduously courted by fortune hunter Fergus Redfern, whose sister has an old score to settle with Luke. Can Paul Dalton, Luke’s trusted friend and right-hand man, save Mary’s reputation, and will Flora’s uncanny abilities help her to shake off the persistent shadow of her father before she finally turns twenty-one and achieves independence? Can the growing attraction between Flora and Luke ever blossom into anything more than mutual respect…

  Riley Rochester Investigates, All, Historical Books

  Death of a Debutante

  In 1870s London, Scotland Yard’s famous Detective Department is still in its infancy. Lord Riley Rochester, younger son of a marquess, is one of its first detective inspectors.
  When a debutante is murdered in the home of Lord Ashton, Riley’s vengeful superior hands him the investigation, hoping to see him fail. As Riley and his sergeant, Jack Salter, delve into the circumstances surrounding Emily Ferguson’s death, it quickly becomes apparent that his own class expect him to exonerate its members from all blame. But the murder was committed at a society event, and Riley’s conscience won’t allow him to ignore the

  evidence that points to one of the guests—or hosts—being the killer.

  Everyone has something to hide and tempers fray as a heatwave holds London in its sweltering grasp. When a second death occurs, Riley fears he may be incapable of preventing a terrible miscarriage of justice. Will he and Jack manage to uncover the true identity of the killer without endangering those whom Riley holds most dear…

  Death of a Courtesan

  Detective Inspector Rochester and his sergeant, Jack Salter, are called to a high-end brothel to investigate the murder of one of its inhabitants. Her throat has been cut from after the customers had left for the night and the doors had been locked, and no one admits to hearing a thing.

  As Riley and Jack delve into the beautiful young victim’s background and the reasons for her fall into prostitution, an increasing number of suspects with compelling reasons for wanting her dead emerge. Riley is astounded to discover that his nemesis, Chief Inspector Danforth, is one of the brothel’s regular visitors. He was there on the night of the murder, spent an hour alone with the victim and must be viewed as a suspect. Riley could be forgiven for revelling in Danforth’s downfall after all the insults he has suffered at the chief inspector’s hands, but his concern is for the reputation of the Detective Department and he does all he can to shield Danforth from public derision.

  Unsurprised by the depths of depravity some men willingly sink to in order to find gratification, Riley is unprepared for the damage that could be done to the reputation of his own family if he doesn’t get to the truth. But at what cost to his personal ambitions…

  Death of a Prosecutor

  Inspector Riley Rochester’s latest case strikes close to home. When his friend, notable barrister Sir Robert Glover, is stabbed to death outside his chambers, there are far too many suspects. Sir Robert’s family, those he worked with, shadowy figures from his past and every resentful criminal he ever prosecuted. What’s worse, the case is inextricably linked with a Scotland Yard colleague’s rather slipshod investigation, and Riley must be diplomatic in his dealings with his superiors and fellow officers if he’s to get to the truth.
  Riley and his sergeant, Jack Salter, take to the task with their customary professionalism – although Riley’s judgement is clouded by nervous anticipation of Amelia Cosgrove’s response to his proposal of marriage and by the sudden decline in his nephew’s health. Knowing that if his nephew dies Riley will become his brother’s heir, he must come to terms with the fact that he will one day be the Marquess of Chichester whilst simultaneously trying to solve the hardest case of his career to date…
