  The first novel in a witty, irreverent, hugely entertaining new series with an irresistible premise—Romeo and Juliet’s daughter as a clever, inquisitive, fiercely independent young woman in fair Verona—told from the delightfully engaging point of view of the captivating Rosie Montague herself … 
   
  Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only here’s the thing: That’s not how it ended at all. 
   
  Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I’m the oldest, with the emphasis on ‘old’—a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out … it’s exhausting. 
   
  Each time they’ve presented me with a betrothal, I’ve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isn’t so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wives—all of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I don’t have to … 
   
  At our betrothal ball—where, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sight—I stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? His late wives’ families, his relatives, his mistress, his servants—half of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer … before death lies on me like an untimely frost.

  SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION 
  When an elderly man bursts into flame at an assisted living center on Christmas Eve -- and is consumed in under a minute -- no one can explain what started the fire, much less whether it was an accident... or murder. There was nothing combustible in the room with him, nor anything that might have caused a spark. Nothing but a mild-mannered old man, looking forward to spending the holiday with his grandchildren on the morrow. If not for the unusual nature of his death, the police would have no reason to investigate. 
  But investigate they must... and the lead detective on the case will soon discover more than he bargained for, the facts he unearths painting a very different picture of the victim than his family would like. Meanwhile, the detective's own estranged father, recently released from prison, has come to visit for an indefinite period -- complicating life for his son, and forcing him to confront the ethical implications of the secrets he himself continues to harbor. 
  Meet Gray Gaynes: a brilliant investigator, but also a man deeply wounded by his own personal tragedy... A man willing to go to great lengths to hide the truth of the irrevocable changes he is undergoing.
