Raven and Wren

After being viciously stabbed and left for dead, Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, struggles back to health only to discover he is cursed with a vexing ability to see visions he can't explain. Terrified he may be going mad, he must keep the disturbing skill secret. But when it proves helpful in tracking his would-be killer, he has no choice but to embrace the newfound power. The retrocognition leads him to the house of a man recently deceased, where he encounters the clever and intriguing Miss Matilda Wren-who may be able to help him solve the many questions raised by the attack. The death of Tilda's cousin has left her and her beloved grandmother in a precarious financial position when she discovers their investments have gone missing. Between the lost money and the mysterious Lord Ravenhurst's incessant queries, Tilda begins to wonder if her cousin may have been murdered. Desperate to determine what happened, she'll exhaust every possible line of inquiry to stave off destitution. For a price, Tilda agrees to work with the earl to uncover the truth, though she suspects he's hiding a dark secret. As their investigation grows, so does the body count. Can they trust each other enough to expose the puppet master pulling the strings? Or will the villain's malevolent machinations end with more than a whisper of death?

Private investigator Matilda Wren's new client is a woman seeking evidence to divorce her husband. She is also the former fiancée of her last client-and dear friend-Lord Ravenhurst. Though he has enthusiastically offered to aid Tilda with future investigations, she can't very well accept his help in this matter. Especially when her client's husband is murdered, and Ravenhurst is a suspect. Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, has never felt more alive than when he was solving a mystery with Miss Wren, even when suffering headaches from using his newly acquired ability to touch an object and see a person's memories. He wants nothing more than to continue their professional association as well as deepen their friendship. Except now, he must prove he isn't guilty of murder, even if that includes working against his former partner. Tilda can't believe Hadrian is capable of harming anyone, but how well does she know him? She must rely on her intellect and investigative skill-and not allow her affinity for him to cloud her judgment. When the killer strikes again, Tilda sees that the danger is not to their friendship after all, but to their very existence.

Hadrian Becket, the Earl of Ravenhurst, has always scorned the supernatural-until a head injury left him with the unnerving ability to see visions through touch. Though he loathes the curse, it's proven invaluable in solving murder investigations alongside Miss Matilda Wren. When Hadrian's mother hires Tilda to investigate a medium who claims she can contact her late son, Tilda and Hadrian are drawn into a deadly game. Mediums across London are falling victim to the "Levitation Killer," and the murderer's chilling focus soon shifts to them both. Forced to rely on his visions as never before, Hadrian must fully embrace the gift he despises-and risk everything to keep Tilda safe.

A fake marriage. A supernatural secret. A deadly game of deception. Private investigator Matilda Wren is posing as the wife of Inspector William Maxwell from the City of London Police to infiltrate a burial club scheme. Maxwell is a skilled detective, but he isn't Hadrian-her usual ally and the man she trusts most. When the club's administrator is murdered, Tilda needs Hadrian's expertise, notably his uncanny ability to glimpse others' memories. Disgruntled that he's been cast aside as Tilda's partner, Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, finds a way to involve himself, which is fortuitous because Tilda would like his help. However, working the case under Maxwell's watchful eye is a challenge, especially when he must conceal his supernatural gift. Worse, Maxwell's growing interest in Tilda stirs something unexpected in Hadrian: jealousy. When danger strikes far too close, Hadrian will do everything it takes to keep Tilda safe, even if it means revealing the secrets he's kept hidden in the shadows.
