Sinopsis

Handsome, popular and much in demand in the Social world, Alstone, the Duke of Windlemere is bored with life and, seeking entertainment, he is drawn into a foolhardy wager with his friend Sir Hugo Benson. The bet concerns whether they can successfully replicate the experiment in George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion, in which Eliza Doolittle is taken from the flower market in London and trained to pass as a ‘lady’ in Society.Unbeknown to her, Sir Hugo’s niece, the beautiful, innocent orphan, Lorena, whom he summons back to England from her French Convent School, is chosen by him to play the part and is taken to meet the sophisticated Windlemere Set made up of the Duke’s spoilt entourage.On arrival with her uncle at the Duke’s palatial stately home, Mere, Lorena is overawed by her surroundings and by the dashing and handsome Duke. And for his part the Duke is captivated by Lorena’s intelligence, honesty and loveliness. Not only is Lorena capable, it seems, of being accepted by his snobbish friends. She inspires respect as well – and even love.

    ❄️ Winter enthusiast and coffee shop owner Hazel Frost is hosting the annual Snowflake Festival in her cozy mountain town when a prominent local businessman is found impaled by a giant icicle outside her café. The police write it off as a tragic winter accident, but Hazel's sharp eyes catch details that suggest otherwise—the icicle was perfectly positioned to fall, and the victim had just threatened to sell half the town to a resort developer. With a blizzard trapping everyone in town, Hazel teams up with the handsome new meteorologist and her loyal golden retriever to investigate. Using her knowledge of winter weather patterns and small-town dynamics, she uncovers a web of frozen grudges and cold-hearted schemes. From sabotaged heating systems to mysterious footprints in the snow, every clue brings her closer to a killer who's as cold as the winter storm. But as the temperature plummets, Hazel realizes the killer is still among them—and the next victim might be left out in the cold permanently.

    Police psychologist Edwardo Bratenahl is a young widower, still mourning the tragic loss of his wife. Bratenahl, an academic and native of the insular Cleveland neighborhood of Little Italy, is asked to assist with the homicide investigation of world-class geneticist Dr. Simon Pederson, who was viciously slain during Sunday mass. Bratenahl is partnered with Mary Kate Calderon, veteran homicide detective. The two soon discover a related murder, which Calderon confesses looks eerily like a scenario she witnessed as a child in Nicaragua, with all the hallmarks of a Sandinista interrogator dubbed Diablo Rojo. Bratenahl brushes this off as coincidence, but the psychologist soon discovers just how perilous the world around him is, as he collides with the Red Devil, Simon Pederson’s legacy of destruction, and the weight of family history in this twisty, dark police procedural.
