Somehow, Elinor and her vampiric chaperone must maintain the façade, extend Elinor’s divining gift, and find the pearls before the murderer does … or risk forfeiting their lives.

Book excerpt: Dangerous island cliffs, a lurking murderer, and a pretence at matrimony... Pretending to be already married to Lord Beresford is certainly improper, but only if someone discovers it — or so Elinor argues. The honeymoon masquerade will hide their true purpose in travelling to the beautiful island of Sark: to find the missing vampiri roost, and, of course, sample some of the famous French soufflé. Yet Beresford is being a stickler about their wedding night, the islanders shoot on sight, and Elinor must also find a tiny golden flute to waken the hibernating vampiri. Unfortunately, she cannot divine gold, especially a magical flute the size of a needle. When Aldreda discovers a dead body in the attic, the hunt for the missing roost takes on sinister overtones, especially as mysterious mishaps suggest another victim is intended. If only Elinor’s charade can hold long enough for her to find the flute, the roost, and the murderer — before the killer strikes again or the ‘Beresfords’ are thrown off the island in disgrace. What secrets lie hidden on the isle of Sark? How was the murder done in the attic? And just why do the soufflés keep falling flat? Read The Golden Flute for another rousing tale of magic, manners, and mystery set in the Regency era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamonds, Death, and Devonshire tea… in a magical Regency England Miss Elinor Avely's proper upbringing cannot prepare her for the tiny, spinster vampire who crashes into her sitting room and demands to be fed with a sheep. Elinor already has enough troubles without having to catch ruminants. First, her secret gift for divining jewels has landed her in scandal, exiling her from London society. Second, a nobleman of dubious repute wants her to find a cache of smuggled jewels, hidden somewhere along the Devon coastline. Last – and worst – she is invited to cream tea at the local manor. And while the autocratic and magnificent Earl of Beresford might be there (and perhaps the jewels themselves too), Beresford is the last person Elinor wants to meet over cream tea. When a dead body is discovered along the cliffs, of course, such delicate considerations become secondary. Fortunately, Elinor now has a small vampiric chaperone – even if said spinster has a habit of appearing stark naked – and together they are ready to risk the hard questions. Where are the jewels hidden? Who killed the smuggler? And just when is the cream tea being served?
