Nocturne for a Widow (Sybil Ingram Victorian Mysteries Book 1)

"DeWees offers up a win for gothic romance . . . sizzles with chemistry sure to please readers." --Library Journal

The ghost may be the least of her problems... Vivacious actress Sybil Ingram looks forward to a life of security when she leaves the theater to marry a wealthy American. But when he dies on their wedding night, she finds herself a penniless widow. Her only legacy is Brooke House, a Gothic revival manor in the wilds of the Hudson River Valley. However, the eerie mansion comes with two tenants. One is a hostile ghost. The second, and far worse, is former violinist Roderick Brooke--the most insolent, dangerous, maddeningly gorgeous man she's ever met.

As Sybil and Roderick engage in a battle of wills--and wits--she finds herself increasingly drawn to him despite her growing suspicion that there is a connection between him and the spirit that haunts Brooke House. But soon an even greater threat arises: the mysterious queen of local society, Mrs. Lavinia Dove. For reasons that Sybil can't imagine, Mrs. Dove is determined to have Brooke House and Roderick for herself... if necessary, by deadly means.

Mysterious and moving, sparkling and spooky, Nocturne for a Widow is a brilliant fusion of romantic comedy and gothic romance. Readers who love historical romantic suspense will also want to explore DeWees's other gothics, With This Curse (2015 Daphne du Maurier Award winner) and Sea of Secrets (2012 RONE Award winner).
