Stains of Scarlet

Sylvia Baskerville’s life was a blend of dark secrets and sweet distractions. But now, talk of murder fills Edwardian London’s headlines, and false rumours about her family begin to spread. Undaunted by what is deemed unsavoury, Sylvia is prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the guilty don’t get away free. Time is dwindling. She cannot risk putting trust in anyone, especially not the boy who shamelessly finds his way under her skin.

Felix Jones has a taste for the macabre. It doesn’t take much for him to be drawn into the town’s latest mystery. But something in the details doesn’t feel right, and he’s determined to dig up the truth. Adding in the allure of a woman with storm-cloud eyes and a penchant for threatening his life, Felix becomes insatiable for more than just solving a crime.

There is more on the table than what meets the eye. Felix and Sylvia’s methods may not align, but the scars of the past certainly do. And once the heart gets involved in their precarious game, even the best of intentions might come to a bitter end.
