The Mermaid in the Basement
Serafina Trent is a woman about to take 19 th Century London by storm. She's a woman of means . . . but not the typical Victorian lady who feels her place is to be seen and not heard. When her brother's most recent female dalliance, a beautiful actress, is found murdered, all evidence points to him. Especially since the actress had just rejected him in a most public manner. Now everyone believes Clive is headed for the gallows. Everyone but Serafina. Determined to prove her brother's innocence, Serafina finds herself working with unlikely allies-including Dylan Tremayne, a passionate storyteller and actor with a criminal past.
A Conspiracy of Ravens
With the aid of her partner Dylan Tremayne, Lady Serafina Trent aims to help her neighbors-the Haydens-determine who the true heir is to their sizable estate. After some investigating, she shocks the Haydens when she reveals that the child they believed had died at birth is actually alive and living as a criminal in London's worst slump. Then the Hayden's butler is murdered and the stakes are dangerously raised. Lady Trent's sleuthing skills are put to the test in a Victorian mystery about mischief, murder, and a lost heir.
Sonnet to a Dead Contessa
In 1858 London women of British nobility are being murdered with alarming frequency, so Scotland Yard calls on Lady Serafina Trent and her crime-solving partner, Dylan Tremayne, to help piece together the perplexing clues. With Dylan's help, Serafina has garnered acclaim as a brilliant detective-solving mysteries by relying on her astute observation and scientific reasoning. But in the midst of solving these crimes, Serafina's relationship with Dylan meets unexpected stress when his childhood sweetheart returns. Torn between desire and decorum, Serafina desperately wants Dylan to be happy-but in the arms of another woman? After a lifetime of viewing the world through a practical lens, Serafina begins to examine her own soul-and realizes her need for Jesus. Yet will her faith save her life when all clues point to Serafina as the murderer's next victim?

Lady Trent Mystery 3-in-1 Bundle
Chapter One
As Clive Newton made his way along Drury Lane headed for the Old Vic Theatre, he felt the rush of excitement that always came when he attended any of Kate Fairfield's performances. As he crossed the intersection, the cobblestones were still gleaming from the light evening rain. He tossed a halfpenny to the crossing-sweeper, a small boy who swept away manure and mud. The boy bit the coin, then gave Clive a snaggletoothed grin. "Thankee, sir!"A woman wearing a revealing dress, her face painted, appeared out of the shadows. She attached herself to Clive's arm and winked at him. "Come along wif me, husband. I'll show yer a good time." Shaking his head, Clive moved away, followed by the harlot's curse.
Hurrying along the street, he was struck by the fact that all classes of society mingled in London's streets. One expected harlots to be in the Seven Dials district or in the Haymarket, but it seemed odd that on this main thoroughfare, the rich and the poor, the good and the evil, formed a strange confluence. Some of the women, illuminated by the gaslights, were past their prime; most of them were rattle-cheeked and slack-bodied. There were some young women who came from the country to seek their fortune, but most of them sank to prostitution.
The theatre crowds—filled with respectable women of wealth, their jewels flashing in the reflection of the gaslights—stood side by side with the poorest of London. Homeless children, or Street Arabs, no more than eight or ten years old, swarmed the street. Some pulled at the sleeves of men who whispered crude invitations.
Clive moved southward into the Strand.
