"Charming... Four interconnected visits to a world of danger, wit,
beauty and genuine romance. Treat yourself!"—ANNE PERRY,
internationally bestselling author A stellar line-up of historical
mystery novelists weaves the tale of a priceless and cursed gold
watch as it passes through time wreaking havoc from one owner to
another. As the hours and years pass, the characters are
irrevocably linked by fate, each playing a key role in breaking the
curse and destroying the watch once and for all. From 1733 Italy to
Edinburgh in 1831 to a series of chilling murders in 1870 London,
and a lethal game of revenge decades later, the watch touches lives
with misfortune, until it comes into the reach of one young woman
who might be able to stop it for good. As much a book of curses as
a book of destinies, The Deadly Hours is a breathtaking anthology

destruction, heartbreak, and redemption wrought by fate. This

"Scotland, 1830. "Following the death of her dear friend, Lady
Kiera Darby is in need of a safe haven. Returning to her childhood
home, Kiera hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the merriment of
the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is
murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera
is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death.
While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further
tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the
difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means
Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by
inquiry agent Sebastian Gage.
When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was
not the first--some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them
for ransom. Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave robber and put
the case to rest...before another victim winds up six feet
under.
"Scotland, 1830." Lady Kiera Darby is no stranger to intrigue--in
fact, it seems to follow wherever she goes. After her foray into
murder investigation, Kiera must journey to Edinburgh with her
family so that her pregnant sister can be close to proper medical
care. But the city is full of many things Kiera isn't quite ready
to face: the society ladies keen on judging her, her fellow
investigator--and romantic entanglement--Sebastian Gage, and
ultimately, another deadly mystery.
Kiera's old friend Michael Dalmay is about to be married, but the
arrival of his older brother--and Kiera's childhood art
tutor--William, has thrown everything into chaos. For ten years
Will has been missing, committed to an insane asylum by his own
father. Kiera is sympathetic to her mentor's plight, especially
when rumors swirl about a local girl gone missing. Now Kiera must
once again employ her knowledge of the macabre and join forces with
Gage in order to prove the innocence of a beloved family
friend--and save the marriage of another...
Sebastian Gage returns home to battle the ghosts of his past and
prevent them from destroying his future with Kiera in the latest
exciting installment in this national bestselling series. July
1831. It's been fifteen years since Sebastian Gage has set foot in
Langstone Manor. Though he has shared little with his wife, Lady
Kiera Darby, about his past, she knows that he planned never to
return to the place of so many unhappy childhood memories. But when
an urgent letter from his grandfather reaches them in Dublin,
Ireland, and begs Gage to visit, Kiera convinces him to go. All is
not well at Langstone Manor. Gage's grandfather, the Viscount
Tavistock, is gravely ill, and Gage's cousin Alfred has suddenly
vanished. He wandered out into the moors and never returned. The
Viscount is convinced someone or something other than the natural
hazards of the moors is to blame for Alfred's disappearance. And
when Alfred's brother Rory goes missing, Kiera and Gage must
concede he may be right. Now, they must face the ghosts of Gage's
past, discover the truth behind the local superstitions, and see
beyond the tricks being played by their very own eyes to expose
what has happened to Gage's family before the moors claim yet
another victim...
