Book Description
“A diamond that shines among the pearls.” —All About Romance on The Weaver Takes a Wife Four witty and romantic Regency frolics suitable for all ages. THE WEAVER TAKES A WIFE Haughty Lady Helen Radney is one of Regency London’s most beautiful women and the daughter of a duke, but her sharp tongue has frightened away most of her suitors. When the duke loses his fortune, he turns to his last remaining asset: his daughter. Enter Mr. Ethan Brundy, once an illegitimate workhouse orphan, now owner of a Lancashire cotton mill and one of the richest men in England. When he glimpses Lady Helen at the theatre, he is instantly smitten and vows to marry her. But this commonest of commoners will have his work cut out for him if he hopes to win the heart of his aristocratic bride… BRIGHTON HONEYMOON Sir Aubrey Tabor began with the most altruistic of motives. When the Brundys’ seaside wedding trip is interrupted by a young woman claiming to be Mr. Brundy’s sister, Sir Aubrey promises to do what he can to relieve his friend of an imposter whose presence poses a threat to marital bliss. But Polly Hampton proves to be more than a match for Sir Aubrey, and with each encounter, he finds himself thinking less of his friend’s honeymoon, and more about having one of his own… FRENCH LEAVE Forced by bankruptcy and scandal into exile in France, Lord Waverly expects never to return to his homeland until, staggering home from a gaming hell before dawn, he encounters a young novice escaping a convent. Waverly reluctantly agrees to take her to her English grandfather. Alas, he soon realizes the enormity of his task. When he delivers the irrepressible Lisette to her grandfather’s home only to discover that the man is dead, Waverly is left with no alternative but to offer her the protection of his name. But this marriage of convenience is likely to prove very inconvenient indeed… THE DESPERATE DUKE When his father’s death makes 23-year-old Theodore Radney the Duke of Reddington, the weight of his new responsibilities is enough to send him to London in a panic. Soon Theo has accumulated a pile of debts—and can’t touch his inheritance until his father’s will is probated. His brother-in-law, Ethan Brundy, agrees to lend him the money, if Theo will work in the mill until probate is granted. Daphne Drinkard and her mother are forced to take in boarders after the death of her father. When a Parliamentary candidate hires a room for a series of meetings, Daphne sees her last chance to salvage their fortunes. Still, she’s far more intrigued by the newest resident. Mr. Tisdale is obviously a gentleman—but why would a gentleman be working in a mill?

But staying retired from the field becomes impossible when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and friends. With new layers of intrigue being exposed in his old cases, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's been pulling the strings once and for all. *BONUS CONTENT: This edition of The Tourist includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide

The first in the Electra McDonnell series from Edgar-nominated author Ashley Weaver, set in England during World War II, A Peculiar Combination is a delightful mystery filled with spies, murder, romance, and the author's signature wit. “Filled with wry humor, tight suspense, and a delightful cast of characters.”—Alyssa Maxwell, author of the Gilded Newport mysteries FIRST RULE: DON’T LOSE YOUR CONCENTRATION. Electra McDonnell and her family earn their living outside the law.

SECOND RULE: DON’T MAKE MISTAKES. So when Uncle Mick receives a tip about a safe full of jewels in an empty house, he and Ellie can’t resist. All is going as planned—until the pair is caught red-handed. But instead of arresting them, government official Major Ramsey has an offer: either Ellie agrees to help him break into a safe and retrieve blueprints crucial to the British war effort, or he turns her over to the police. THIRD RULE: DON’T GET CAUGHT. Ellie doesn’t care for the major’s imperious manner, but she has no choice. However, when they break into the house, they find the safe open and empty, and a German spy dead on the floor. Soon, Ellie and Major Ramsey are forced to put aside their differences to unmask the double agent, and stop Allied plans from falling into enemy hands.
