Ballrooms and Blackmail: A Regency Romance Mystery

by Regina Scott

Overview

The toast of London is about to get burned.

Priscilla Tate, most celebrated debutante of 1815 London, is determined to make a brilliant match to save the family fortunes. She's well on her way to wringing a proposal out of the Season's most eligible bachelor, the Duke of Rottenford, when blackmail notes start arriving, threatening to expose a dark secret unless she ceases her pursuit. It's up to her dear friends, Lady Emily Southwell and Ariadne and Daphne Courdebas, to help her uncover the mastermind before disaster strikes, particularly as Nathan Kent, the duke's personal secretary, already suspects her of scheming.

Nathan Kent was given one assignment by his illustrious family: Prevent his cousin, the Duke of Rottenford, from marrying a social climber like Priscilla Tate. But the more he's thrown into the lady's company, the more he finds to admire. As secrets begin unravelling, Priscilla and Nathan become unlikely allies to protect the duke and each other, only to discover that some secrets, like love, were meant to be shared.
