The Flame Eater (Historical Mysteries Collection Book 2)

Description

An arranged marriage. A divided kingdom. Can an unlikely couple find love on the trail of a murderous conspiracy?
England, 1484. Emeline knows she has no voice in her arranged marriage. So she counts herself fortunate when her betrothed turns out to be a charming man with a heart of gold . . . until his violent death casts her into the arms of his monstrous brother. Just when she thinks her wedding day couldn’t get worse, fire and bloodshed ravage the castle. Determined to unmask the murderous culprit, she follows the trail of clues and realizes there may be more to her husband than meets the eye.

Nicholas is tired of living in his older brother’s shadow. And being forced to marry a woman who would rather he fill his brother’s coffin isn’t helping matters. As murder and mayhem plagues the kingdom, he must hide the secret mission behind his dastardly actions . . . even from his own wife. But when she embarks on her own investigation, he realizes he may have underestimated the fiery beauty.

When England’s fate hangs in the balance, can Emeline and Nicholas work together to take down the traitorous forces threatening to destroy the kingdom?
