SELWYN PLACE

A country house party. A broken friendship. A debt that must be paid in blood.

When Lady Emilie Selwyn invites Andrew and Lady Claire Malvern to her very first country house party, Claire is delighted to offer her help—until she discovers that Peony Churchill is also on the guest list. But in supporting one friendship, perhaps she can repair another, and the rift between herself and Peony might be mended.

But when Andrew and Claire arrive at the manor, an unexpected guest is among their number. A guest with violent connections to an old crime in Claire’s past. Revenge might be a dish best served cold, but Claire will not allow anything to chill dear Emilie’s first foray into society. Even if it means that the Lady of Devices must come out of retirement once again ….

“What could be more pleasant than a house party? But when it is the Lady of Devices in attendance, adventure and the unexpected are right around the corner. This delightful novella gives us the opportunity to see more of Snouts, one of the original characters in the series, and to appreciate what he brings to the world of Claire and Andrew. A wonderful read.” —Kindle reader
