A Whisper in the Shadows

A fake marriage. A supernatural secret. A deadly game of deception.

Private investigator Matilda Wren is posing as the wife of Inspector William Maxwell from the City of London Police to infiltrate a burial club scheme. Maxwell is a skilled detective, but he isn't Hadrian-her usual ally and the man she trusts most. When the club's administrator is murdered, Tilda needs Hadrian's expertise, notably his uncanny ability to glimpse others' memories.

Disgruntled that he's been cast aside as Tilda's partner, Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, finds a way to involve himself, which is fortuitous because Tilda would like his help. However, working the case under Maxwell's watchful eye is a challenge, especially when he must conceal his supernatural gift. Worse, Maxwell's growing interest in Tilda stirs something unexpected in Hadrian: jealousy.

When danger strikes far too close, Hadrian will do everything it takes to keep Tilda safe, even if it means revealing the secrets he's kept hidden in the shadows.
