That is until Frederic meets the beautiful Miss Adele Bouchard. Adele is an actress who loves the stage more than any man. She knows that the Peerage consider an actress a woman of loose morals and she has no love of nobility herself, but she wants to trust the young Marquis. That is until Frederic’s mistakes catch up with him, and another actress is found dead. Now no one is safe, especially the beautiful Miss Adele. Frederic says he loves her and she vows to live long enough to see if the man means it even if she has to catch a murderer herself! Mischief, Mayhem and Murder: A Marquis of Evermont is a Regency Romance set in 1811-1820 and is marked by witty banter, balls, hunts and country house parties, much like Jane Austen's famous Pride and Prejudice.
