Even though it’s a contemporary, my Falling for Frederick has vastly appealed to my fans who love those wonderful English stately homes. My publisher has put the book on sale for just 99¢ through Nov. 9.
Here’s a bit about the plot:
Her first day doing doctoral research in the basement archives of Siddley Hall, England's grandest Elizabethan home, American Antonia Townley finds the hall's curator—with a knife plunged into his chest. "I. Know. Where. Percy. Monstrance," he gasps with his final breaths. Police suspect Antonia of being the killer because of two—to her—insignificant reasons, the first being the pesky matter of her fingerprints on the murder weapon. Then there is the unfortunate email she had sent to her sister saying she would kill for the curator's job.
Hunky bachelor Lord Frederick Percy, lord of Siddley Hall, reveals that the Percy family had the most valuable monstrance in all of England before Henry VIII's Dissolution. It has been believed that the family melted the gold and redistributed the monstrance's jewels after the Dissolution. But had the curator stumbled across clues pointing to the existence of the monstrance, which could be worth millions of pounds? Is that why he was killed?
As she and Frederick crisscross England seeking information on the Percy Monstrance, it becomes clear someone is trying to kill her to. She hopes to God it isn't Frederick because she's pretty sure she's falling in love with him.
