The Masked Lady and The Murder
When Lord Robert Markson, Viscount of Hampshire, is force to return to England to find out who murdered his father and older brother he's in for a surprise.
It comes in the guise of Lady Kristina Rosewood, daughter to the Earl and Countess of Crossington. To many she's quartz but to him a multifaceted diamond.
While recovering from an attempt on his life which thrust them closer together they work through emotions for each other while sorting through letters sent to his mother years ago. Slowly, they're able to discover the one man who could have set the murders in motion. The only problem, he's been dead for years so who could it be and more importantly why now.
Once all the evidence is compiled the answer is something neither could believe as the threat comes from within the late viscount's house.
The Guilty Countess

As Robert and Kristina start their search for the real killer they learn the murder might be more complicated than first thought. Uncovering evidence sends the three in pursuit of a possible suspect only to find this person is innocent, or is he not guilty of the murder but not something else.
When Robert and Kristina learn Lord Kersey might not be exactly who they believe him to be that's when the facts become murky. It takes a surprise visit by Kristina's brother to help set the record straight which only adds more confusion to the facts.
Will Robert and Kristina find the killer of Lord Kersey before the authorities take Lady Kersey away in irons?

Her older brother, Lord Ethan Rosewood, shows up and makes unreasonable demands upon her and Lord Markson. Kristina and Ethan have never been close, and wherever Ethan is trouble seems to follow.
When missing pieces come together and the puzzle is forming, Kristina and Robert realize people aren't as they seem and they must figure out who can be trusted.
Who is the killer? Does he walk among them, or are the clues to the mystery leading them down the wrong path?
