Knives Out meets Bridgerton in Fair Verona, as New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd kicks off a frothy, irreverent, witty new series with an irresistible premisetold from the delightfully engaging point of view of Romeo and Juliets clever, rebellious, fiercely independent daughter, Rosie Montague.

Fun, funny, charming, and absolutely delightful. If youre looking for a novel to sweep you away and lift your spirits, look no further.  KRISTIN HANNAH, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only heres the thing: Thats not how it ended at all.

Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. Im the oldest, with the emphasis on olda certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. Its not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture itconstant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out . . . its exhausting.

Each time theyve presented me with a betrothal, Ive set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isnt so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wivesall of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I dont have to . . .

At our betrothal ballwhere, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sightI stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him His late wives families, his relatives, his mistress, his servantshalf of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer . . . before death lies on me like an untimely frost.

"A sharp, determined heroine, a clever historical mystery, sparkling wit, a unique setting, family drama and a dash of romance.  AMANDA QUICK, New York Times bestselling author of The Lady Has a Past
