Vincentio di Vivaldi was the only son of the Marchese di Vivaldi, a nobleman of one of the most ancient families of the kingdom of Naples, a favourite possessing an uncommon share of influence at Court, and a man still higher in power than in rank. His pride of birth was equal to either, but it was mingled with the justifiable pride of a principled mind; it governed his conduct in morals as well as in the jealousy of ceremonial distinctions, and elevated his practice as well as his claims. His pride was at once his vice and his virtue, his safeguard and his weakness.

The cruellest fate for a man... Lord Peregrine Fitzroy once toyed with his peers with the ease of a man playing chess. His mother's treason, however, reduced him to a pawn. Surviving accusations of her crimes came at a price. When a foreign prince falls ill at Peregrine's first appearance since returning to English soil, he can't help but suspect the poison was henbane. The same poison his mother used to kidnap Lady Charity Cresswell-the woman now threatening to burn his life to ashes....is wanting a woman he could never have. Lady Charity's first season was fraught with scandal, but marriage and convenient widowhood saved her reputation from certain ruin. As lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Charity is in an excellent position to reclaim her status as a diamond of the first water... and plot revenge upon the Fitzroy family. But she, too, recognizes the prince's symptoms, and suspects Peregrine has returned to court to conduct some nefarious intrigue. Lives and the fate of a nation are at stake. Twists and secrets shroud a conspiracy to prevent the Crown's political alliance through marriage, and it is far more dangerous than anyone expected. The intrepid duo find themselves forced into a partnership to solve the crime and discover the identity of the hidden hand at work. But can there ever be a second chance for redemption-let alone love-between the star-crossed Charity and Peregrine? Or will betrayal destroy them both? Immerse yourself in the Diamond of the Ton Regency Mysteries-a slow-burn, forbidden enemies-to-lovers romance and espionage trilogy series that is clean but definitely not sweet. Perfect for fans of C. S. Harris, Anna Lee Huber, Deanna Raybourn, Ashley Gardner, Cara Devlin (and of course, Bridgerton). This new series is set in the same world as The Crown Jewels Mysteries.
