The Widow's Waltz

Lady Vivienne Blackwood was supposed to be dead. The ton mourned appropriately. Black gloves were worn. Sympathy cards were exchanged. Society whispered of tragedy behind lace fans and champagne flutes. But grief becomes far more complicated when seven gentlemen—each secretly promised marriage to the same woman—begin turning up dead. As panic spreads through London’s elite, Miss Theodora Wren, Vivienne’s sharp-tongued former companion and closest confidante, finds herself pulled back into the shadowed halls of Blackwood Manor. Armed with cryptic riddles, hidden journals, and the memory of a love neither woman was ever permitted to name, Theo must unravel the truth before the murders consume everyone connected to Vivienne’s past. Each man represented a deadly sin. Each mistress holds another piece of the story. And somewhere inside Blackwood Manor, something refuses to stay buried. A gothic Regency mystery filled with scandal, obsession, betrayal, and slow-burning sapphic longing, The Widow’s Waltz blends deadly romance with the glittering cruelty of high society.
