A GEORGIAN HISTORICAL MYSTERY
ALEC HALSEY SERIES, BOOK 1
S
pring 1763
Alec Halsey returns to London and the shocking news his estranged brother has not only killed his friend in a duel but is engaged to the woman he hoped to marry. At a weekend house party to celebrate the engagement, houseguests get more than they bargained for when a lady’s maid is murdered, the bride-to-be is attacked, and a guest is shot dead. Uncovering a connection between these sinister acts and his brother's duel, Alec confronts a cruel twist of fate and why his brother will go to any lengths to ruin him in Polite Society.
Lucinda Brant goes beyond appearances and digs deep into the sordid secrets that people through the ages have always sought to keep hidden. I was reminded of my youth when I inhaled historical romances and books of intrigue as if they were air. I challenge anyone to read this first book of the Alec Halsey Mystery series and not crave more from the handsome Alec Halsey with his high sense of morals, dark good looks, and divine analytical mind. I have nothing but good things to say about Deadly Engagement.

I love the 18th century and I want my readers to love it too. Pinterest is a wonderful way to share the historical detail I put into my books. On my Pinterest boards you can explore the people, places, objects, and history in each book, as well as everything else that's fascinating about the Georgian era!
