Danger hides behind the most respectable doors in Victorian England.

A secret society known as the Black Rose is working from within Britain’s highest circles, exploiting war, politics, wealth, and social influence to undermine the Crown. Standing in its way is a small network of intelligence operatives who know that a ballroom can be as dangerous as a battlefield—and that the enemy beside you may be harder to recognize than the one across the room.

Against the turbulent backdrop of the Crimean War, The Shadow of the Black Rose follows the men and women risking everything to uncover the conspiracy. Their missions carry them from glittering London drawing rooms and clandestine meetings to the docks, Parliament, Osborne House, and Buckingham Palace as they infiltrate the Society, decipher its secrets, and close in on the elusive figures directing it.

Each story features a new romance within the same interconnected world of spies and intrigue, where trust can be dangerous, deception can save lives, and falling in love may prove the greatest risk of all.

Begin with the prequel, Duke by Dawn, then continue with Whispers and Spies, The Spy in Disguise, and Protect the Prince.
