About this ebook
The scandal-soaked historical mystery that will keep you turning pages deep into the night...
A murdered courtesan. A clairvoyant's desperate deception. And a crusading editor who could expose everything —if only his heart would let him!
When one of Madame Chambon's most sought-after "Fallen Angels" is found dead in Mayfair, Lily, Lady Bradden, knows her own precarious sanctuary at the pleasure house hangs by a thread. Forced to play the part of a spirit medium to survive, she's already treading a dangerous line between deception and discovery. Now she must find a killer before she becomes the next victim.
Hamish McTavish, the righteous editor of Manners & Morals, has made his career exposing London's frauds and charlatans. The mysterious Lady Bradden should be just another story—if only he could ignore the magnetic pull she has on his heart.
When their paths collide over a murder investigation, Hamish must decide: pursue the truth, or protect the woman who's awakened feelings he thought long buried.
But as Russian diplomats circle, a vengeful husband closes in, and more bodies appear, Lily and Hamish discover that in a world of secrets and lies, trust may be the deadliest gamble of all.
A Fatal Rendezvous in Mayfair is Book 1 in the exciting London Ladies in Peril series, perfect for fans of Victorian Gothic Murder Mysteries where danger and desire walk hand in hand.

About the author
Beverley was seventeen when she bundled up her first 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Rejection followed swiftly. Drowning one’s heroine on the last page, she was informed, was not in line with the expectations of romance readers.
So Beverley became a journalist.
After a whirlwind romance with a handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta, Beverley discovered what real romance was all about, saved her heroine from a watery grave in her next manuscript and published her first romance in 2009.
Since then, she’s written more than twenty-eight sizzling historical romances laced with mystery and intrigue under the name Beverley Oakley.
She also writes psychological historical mysteries, and Colonial-Africa-set romantic suspense, as Beverley Eikli.
With an inspiring view of a Gothic nineteenth-century insane asylum across the road, Beverley lives north of Melbourne with her gorgeous husband, two lovely daughters and a rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgeback called Mombo, named after the safari lodge where she and her husband met.
