The Devil in Beauty
2017
“Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.”
Julian “Trev” Silvester, the Marquis of Trevelin, once had everything a gentleman could want—fortune, good looks, and enough charm to seduce the beautiful young ladies of the ton. But after a duel with a jealous duke leaves him disfigured, Julian is ostracized by those who once celebrated him. Though his life is irrevocably changed, Trev is still loyal to his friends. When Willy Gilbert is accused of murder and Lady Vawdrey’s diamond necklace is stolen, he jumps at the chance to help them.
As the two cases merge, however, Trev finds an unlikely ally in Miss Desdemona Woodmansey. She’s the only young lady who doesn’t seem put off by his scar and the scandal of the duel. But as their investigation into the murder reveals just how treacherous the mask of polite society can be, both Trev and Desdemona are placed in grave danger. Trev has already lived through the disgrace of a scandal, but can he survive a murderer who will do anything to protect a sinister secret?
(Please note that the events of The Devil in Beauty take place eight years prior to the events of The Lord Who Sneered.)

The Scandal in Honor
2018
What is the price one must pay to protect ones honor? Or that of another? It has been two years since the duel that changed Julian "Trev" Silvester's life. He is now happily betrothed to Miss Jane Leavitt whose influence has helped to restore his reputation among Society. Her father, however, has not allowed the connection to be made public. He is not happy about Trev's penchant for looking into unsavory matters such as missing diamond necklaces and dead downstairs maids. He will allow the couple to set a date for their wedding when he is satisfied that Trev will look to his own reputation with the same care as does Jane. Meanwhile, Trev is taken with the tale of a young lady new to Town. Her military father was said to have done away with himself in order to escape censure over his decision to flee a battle with his wife and child. Trev can't resist attempting to set the man's reputation to rights. He is helped by a "ghostly" Willy and the boot boy cum valet, Jack. When several more "accidents" occur, Trev's list of suspects grows. And then his cousin Eve threatens him with ruin if he does not release Jane to his clutches. The Scandal in Honor is book two in The Lord Trevelin Mysteries. Be sure to read the first book in this captivating Regency-era mystery series about one man's journey to redemption, told through the eyes of the one whose absolution he longs for the most: his own.
