London, 1880I’ve returned to London with my proverbial tail between my legs.After the death of my beloved husband, I took my broken heart and retreated to Paris, where I’ve been living for the last year.But finally deciding I need to face the ghosts of my past, I’ve returned.And now find myself sitting in a jail cell in Scotland Yard, the precinct of the London police.I’ve been accused of stealing a diamond necklace.

Really, there’s no mystery there—I’m guilty and I’ve admitted as much.But I’m only guilty of taking back something which was already mine to begin with.I can only hope Inspector Grant Stirling, a man as unfriendly as he is tall, dark and handsome, will believe me when I tell him he’s punishing the wrong person.I’m not sure if it makes matters better or worse that my deceased husband, Patrick, was not only Inspector Stirling’s closest friend, but also his supervisor.Regardless, Patrick has returned from the dead to help me clear my name...The last thing I expected to see is the beautiful widow Fairfax sitting in one of my holding cells.Fiery, independent and determined, I can understand what drew Patrick to her.She’s also an American heiress to a vast fortune, something which calls into question exactly why she’d steal a necklace.I want to believe she isn’t guilty and I feel it my personal responsibility to make sure the reputation of my closest friend’s widow isn’t soiled.Yet I can’t help but wonder if Philippa isn’t all she seems and, furthermore, if she had something to do with Patrick’s death.Too bad (perhaps for both of us) that I need her help to gain entrance into the upper echelons of society, where a much bigger mystery is just taking shape… less
