The Ruby Dagger (Roland & Grace) - The Crown Jewels Regency Mysteries #2 - Digitally Signed Paperback
Deadly intrigue meets royal expectations when murder comes for the crown.
London, 1813. In the gilded corridors of St James's Palace, Lord Percy and Lady Grace face a mystery that could shake the throne itself. A murder and audacious theft of the Prince Regent’s new ruby dagger thrusts them back into a web of deception and treachery.
Tarnished by his past behaviour, Lord Percy is focused on regaining favour with the Ton. When the queen demands he deliver the murderer and the stolen gift, he cannot refuse.
Lady Grace sees her chance to prove her value to the crown. She’ll do anything to avoid endless weeks of ballrooms and beaus, even if that means being in close quarters with the man pledged to her best friend.
As Lord Percy and Lady Grace wade deeper into London's underbelly, love and loyalty will face the ultimate trial. Especially since this culprit is willing to spill blood.
In a society where everyone has an agenda, and half the ton is suspect, they will need to watch each other’s backs. If they cannot unveil the criminal mastermind, this time it will cost them more than their reputations.

Lois –
This second book in the Crown Jewels Regency Mysteries is just as much fun as the first. Roland, now engaged to Charity is struggling with the formality of the ton – ‘barbarian’ that he is and Grace, although happy her friend has been restored with her reputation intact still has her mother’s incessant matchmaking and the mind numbing gossip to contend with. A theft of a ruby dagger and the death of a palace guard see Grace and Roland back together to investigate. The characters both real and imagined are well rounded and the plot is convoluted enough to keep you guessing and even when you think you’ve figured it all out, you realise you’re really only halfway there. Waiting impatiently for The Sapphire Intrigue now.
