You may think I'm cruel, to kill a man so- let alone three. You may think me sociopathic, evil- incapable of love. But sadly, I am not- and perhaps that was my demise. I write this book in hopes someone, somewhere, may succeed where I did not- coming upon an enormous fortune, and being blessed with the ability to not have to share such a thing with anybody else. Having unlimited power, stability, happiness- all the things killing one's husband should bring upon someone. Nonetheless, if my dear readers cannot use this book to murder one's own husband- one hopes it can bring entertainment on a rainy day, for surely the skedaddles and hijinks will be enough to capture the modern mind. For example, I've had to deal with Men- a feat in itself- as well as the dealing of an unexpected Other Heir, Stepdaughter, and my past coming back to haunt me... Intriguing, no? ***Historical Fiction set in England, 1890s, in which a Victorian Woman is set upon murdering her most recent, useless, but very rich, husband, in exchange for a plethora of wealth. Unfortunately, fate is not on her side- there's an annoyingly handsome Lord in her way, and his niece, a young brat in desperate need of a mother. But nothing can get in the way of her plans, of course. Especially not her own heart.

➊ Disillusion Noun: to be free of illusion; disenchantment. Not to be confused with dissolution, the precipice over which I hang these thoughts, above which I string these words into a kite to catch on the winds and vanish into the clouds, the fog, the nothingness.
