Three twisty mysteries are collected in A Trio of Hazards. Set in Regency England, these novels present people from the many spheres of life clashing against each other—and against murderers! Complex Schemes, Dangerous Pasts :: The Hazard of Secrets Clarey Parton crosses the Atlantic to steal an inheritance. She hopes that no one discovers the rightful heir lies in a cold grave. Jem Baxter returns to the England he fled three years before. He assumes the name James Axminster to conceal his past, one littered with misdeeds. When a press gang sees two people traveling alone, they seize the opportunity for quick cash: they plan to sell Clarey to a brothel and impress Jem on a merchant ship. Fate brings these two lonely souls together. Chance helps them escape. Yet escape traps them in another secret—one with murder as a bloody solution. The Hazard of Secrets offers twists and turns as tight as knots. Can Clarey and Jem keep their secrets, or will murder force them to reveal all? Treacherous Traitors, Murders Past and Present :: The Hazard for Spies Disguised to Spy. Conrad Hoppock works with the Bow Street Runners to locate a French master spy. His search sends him undercover in a firm of solicitors. Phinney Darracott wants justice for the murders of her sister and brother-in-law. Clues lead her to a firm of London solicitors. Disguised as a cleaning maid, Phinney prowls for the evidence. There she encounters Conrad. And the lawyer at the center of the tangle of clues is shot dead while they watch from hiding. Will Phinney and Conrad discover the connection between past and present murders? Or will two bullets solve the problem for the murderer and the French master spy? Will murder destroy their chance for love? Knotty problems turn into bloody events in The Hazard for Spies. Rumors, Lies, Superstition, & Murder :: The Hazard with Hearts The bride of the Earl of Sheldrake, Vivienne Northrup encounters ghost stories from venomous neighbors when she arrives at the Hall. Her husband is busy with the concerns of the estate, and his relatives are less than welcoming. Then, while exploring the ruins of Sheldrake Castle, she barely escapes a stone dislodged from a tower. Rumors whisper the Earl is a Bluebeard, killing his two previous wives. Others claim the first committed suicide while the second fell on the stairs. Which version is the truth? Or were his wives murdered? How can Vivienne discover the truth? Two wives haunt the castle. Will she be the third to die? The Hazard with Hearts offers a determined heroine who confronts doubts, superstition, and the dark passions of a killer who wants every countess of Sheldrake dead and buried. . . . . A Trio of Hazards bundles together the last three books in the Hearts in Hazard 12-novel series of mysteries and suspense with a dash of sweet romance. Set in Regency England, the novels are loosely connected and are complete, without cliffhangers. Writer M.A. Lee has published over 15 historical mystery novels and two novellas. With Edie Roones, she penned 10 short stories in the Wild Sherwood series, featuring characters of the Robin Hood legends as well as new characters, all encountering the dangerous faeries of British mythology.
