House of Croft, Book 2

Historical Mystery/Thriller/Romance

Date Published: 10-29-2024

He’ll never forgive her deception, or the hold she still has on his heart…

Adrian Croft’s worst fear has been realized. His wife, the sweet woman who swept past his every defense, is a cunning spy working against him. Forced to play a dangerous game where one wrong move could see him destroyed, he must unravel her secrets while hunting a far more sinister threat.

Samantha knew her decision to marry her target would come at a price. Now, having lost her husband’s trust and affection, she’ll do whatever it takes to win it all back – abandon past loyalties, spill her secrets, and catch a killer. But will it be enough to undo the damage?

Review

This was such an interesting concept. Mr & Mrs Smith type dynamic but oh so different with all of the historical elements. Adrian doesn't know what to think.

I love mysteries, especially those set in history and this one really managed to transport the reader to the time.

The dual perspectives really give us insight to both main characters and where they are at times during the book.

My favorite part is that this is a dark book, it's not a typical Historical Romance or even Mystery Romance, it's dark and haunting and the author does not shy away from the gruesomeness of the case.
