A Gloomy Shade of Death (The Royal Occult Bureau #8)

Emma

First, my handsome neighbour, Lord Arthur, the Duke of Finsbury, accuses me of lying to him. Then someone has the brilliant idea to kill me. I suspect the murderer is one of my cousins because they all want to get their greedy hands on my glamourous clothing factory. Well, over my dead body. Pun not intended.
But I don’t stay dead for long. So I’m now an undead, which means almost non-existent heartbeat, cold skin, and an inability to die. Again. No, it’s not as fancy as it sounds, and it won’t last. Unless I find who killed me, I’ll die completely.
Thank goodness Arthur is helping me find my murderer. I wonder if he would have a tryst with an undead woman…

Arthur

When I found Emma’s corpse in my house, I was sure she was dead. But she returns back to life as an undead. As a former agent of the Royal Occult Bureau, I have to investigate her murder and understand how she became an undead. I should let a proper agent help her, but she triggers my protection instinct and maybe, if I help her, I’ll find a way to redeem myself from my dark past.

**Trigger warning death of a loved one (off page), disfigurement, chronic pain, addiction, steamy scenes.**

Monia

For years, my mother tormented me about finding a husband, and when I find a handsome, foreign prince interested in me, she has a nervous breakdown and sends me away.
So here I am, on a cruise ship sailing around the Mediterranean Sea with a sulky former pugilist as my chaperone, Rennie. My mother also forbade me to see the prince again without giving me an explanation. Is the prince in danger? Married? Why doesn’t anyone tell me anything?
