Independent American Sierra Shaw sets out to shock London society in order to bring out the person who is blackmailing her stepmother, and spymaster Fitz Kent realizes he’s met his match — in more ways than one. Fate intervenes when he discovers the man who killed his father and the blackmailer are one and the same. Victorian romantic suspense by Justine Wittich; originally published by Five Star
Justine "Tina" Wittich has written "something" ever since she learned to scribble letters. Journalism sounded good, so she got her degree in journalism, but then she worked in radio, and liked writing radio copy better. But then she got married and they moved all the time, and about the time they settled she had children and a traveling husband and there were swimming classes (Tina taught the synchronized swim group) and tennis lessons and all that good stuff. She worked as a secretary, but soon took over editorship of a regional magazine, where she realized what she'd always suspected fiction is much more fun to write than fact. To support her unpublished writing habit, she freelanced public relations, and helped business college students look for jobs, after first teaching them professional development.
