Book excerpt: Who killed Viscount Beaconberg? Lady Beaconberg’s a prime suspect: the money-grabbing snob of a wife would do anything to get further up the social ladder, and ditching a lowly viscount would free her for marriage to a much more esteemed nobleman. Or perhaps the killer was the viscount’s business partner, Sir Arthur, who’s been arguing in public and in private, desperate to wrest control of the racing stables fully into his own hands. As Theodore Caxton, the Earl of Calaway and his wife Adelia look further into the viscount’s suspicious death, more secrets emerge from the family’s past. Everyone had someone to gain from the murder. How far will the killer go to hide the truth? Theodore’s a man of learning and science; Adelia’s got a gift for reading people and asking the right questions. Together they get dangerously close to the murderer. When events separate them – one on a wild chase across the northern moors of England, the other into the heart of horse racing at York – can they each survive on their own? They cannot afford to be losers in this deadly game of murder, love and money.

Lady Olivia Malcolm Hargreaves is a viscountess, a widow, a governess, the adopted mother of a disabled toddler—but above all else, she is a survivor. When the father of the young children she’s been caring for arrives on Christmas Eve, drunk and ranting, his aura and her own sad experience tell her he’s dangerous. Heart hardened after the murder of his beloved wife, Simon Blair is an industrialist who has no use for another psychic Malcolm. His late wife’s weird family is more than enough interference. But his twin daughters are talking to their mother’s ghost, his son and heir is floating objects that shouldn’t float, and he’s beleaguered by aristocrats who refuse to acknowledge his plebeian existence. When Simon learns that Lady Olivia is in a position to help him obtain the land he needs for his business, and she recognizes that by helping him, she might regain the home she’s lost, they must fight their respective prejudices and forge an uneasy alliance. It might take a ghost, an army of children, and a criminal gang to force them to recognize that they want far more than real estate.
