The Sugared Game
The Will Darling Adventures, Book 2
It’s been two months since bookseller Will Darling saw Kim Secretan and he doesn’t expect to see him again. What do a rough and ready ex-soldier and a disgraced shady aristocrat have to do with each other anyway?
But when Will encounters a face from the past in a disreputable nightclub, Kim turns up again—as shifty, unreliable, and irresistible as ever. And before Will knows it, he’s been dragged back into Kim’s shadowy world of criminal conspiracies and underhand dealings.
This time, though, things are underhand even by Kim standards. This time, the danger is too close to home. And if Will and Kim can’t find common ground against unseen enemies, they risk losing everything.

“A terrific follow up to Slippery Creatures, a tautly-written, compelling, high-stakes mystery with a vividly realised setting, a romance that’s coming along quite nicely, villains you can love to hate, heroes you can cheer for, murder, larceny, deception, betrayals – and plenty of cups of tea.”
“This spicy m/m romantic historical mystery series is top drawer flapper era excitement and glitz that I can highly recommend.”
