Vices, Villains and the Viscount by Karla Kratovil

An evening of flirtation is interrupted by murder, casting two bruised hearts together as they hunt for the killer.

Elizabeth Harper once had a fairytale romance, but her dreams of a happy future were shattered when her aristocratic fiancé was killed, leaving her unwed and pregnant. Seven years later, she’s a fiercely independent single mother running her late father’s newspaper. Research for her latest article investigating vice in London leads her to an infamous gaming hell where she searches for a friend’s missing daughter.

Owner of the Blue Angel, Matthew Reeves, was betrayed as a child by his family. Abandoning his respectable name and old life, he reinvented himself on the streets of London. The Blue Angel employees are his family, and he will do anything to protect them from a busybody reporter determined to defame its reputation.

In this spicy historical romance, a whip-smart newspaper editor and a devilishly handsome gaming hell owner join forces to find a killer. Can they push aside their mutual mistrust and learn to believe in love again?
