corset murder mystery plot romance steampunk suitor

Margaret Rotherham is a fine and dignified lady, thank you very much. Despite her penchant for pilfering, interfering and generally being a nuisance, she would quite like her reputation to be kept somewhat respectable. Yet somehow, with the aid of a rather secretive suitor, this hope is becoming rather more of a fantasy.

Roger Topps has always been described as eccentric. His fortune is extensive and so is his manor, and whilst he has an unnerving obsession with pocket-watches, a rather untidy haircut and a general lack of decorum he is widely considered one of the finest bachelors in all of London.

At one of the Rotherham family's reknowned balls, the two meet. Whilst Mrs Rotherham believes the pairing is destined for marriage, the two young adults could not see this as further from the truth.All Rights Reserved

The Poisoner's Game by BeatrixWritesProse

As the London Season of 1877 opens, Lady Margaret Savoy wants nothing more than to be invisible and devour "Penny Dreadfuls" to avoid the cruelty of her aunt and cousin. When she finds a letter from her grandfather warning her about a man called the Poisoner, a powerful crime boss who killed her parents, her wallflower days come to an abrupt end as she falls into a deadly investigation. Literally. Out a window, in fact, and right into the path of Lord Alexander Rocque, a young detective. Alexander offers his assistance-with the Poisoner, and the window-and together they set out to discover the Poisoner's plans. But Lord Alexander has plans of his own. Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all. To stay alive in the Poisoner's game, they must find the key to the dying Opium trade-a key Margaret may, in fact, possess herself. If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.
