The Key to Secrets

Dark Hearts and Sharp Knives

After years in London, Constable Hector Evans returns to Chalmsley Court to solve a violent murder. He doesn’t expect the victim to be the fiancé of Lord Chalmsley’s youngest daughter.

His lordship wants a quick resolution, before gossip about the crime’s salacious nature and trap-like killing becomes widespread. With no murder weapon, no identifiable clues, and no eyewitnesses, Hector has little evidence to build a case.

Yet he has plenty of suspects for the bloody death—including the woman he once loved.

Dark hearts and sharp knives of The Key to Secrets create a compelling entry in the Hearts in Hazard series of Regency mysteries and suspense.

 

The Key for Spies

Spies and traitors.  Lies and treachery.  Unexpected love where bullets fly.

One traitor destroys loyalty.  What will two traitors destroy?

The British spy Simon Pargeter scouts the terrain for Wellington’s army in French-controlled Spain.  Miriella de Teba ye Olivita, the famed Doñabella, wants to give him aid, but she must first find the traitor lurking in her band of guerillas.

Can Simon escape the French patrol hot on his trail?  With Major Pierre LeCuyer actively seeking Doñabella’s identity, can Miri hold her guerrillas together long enough to get the information Simon needs?  Can she locate the traitor before she is unmasked?

Or will the traitors reap the reward while Simon and Miri swing from the gallows?

 

The Key with Hearts

Married for money, not for love.

A convenient marriage inconveniently causes murder.

Six months ago, Liza Corbett married Greville Myers.  Her money saved his estate.  His nobility raised her station.  The couple have achieved an uneasy relationship, tepid and uncomfortable.

Then Liza is nearly killed in a failed attempt at murder.

Who wants her dead?

• *The woman who had expected to marry Greville?
• *The mother-in-law who hates her?
• *Someone unknown?
• *Or her husband, so he can keep her money and marry the woman he loves?

Heart-Pounding Puzzles ~ A Trio of Games

Smugglers in A Game of Secrets,

Tricky Twists in A Game of Spies,

and

murder Most Foul in A Game of Hearts

Regency mysteries and suspense with a dash of romance.

 

My first three books ever published, way back in 2015,

collected into A Trio of Games.

A Trio of Games offers my first three mysteries.

• Long before I dreamed of publishing, the novel A Game of Secrets rescued me from a dark time of life.
• Then came the novel A Game of Spies at another dark time.
• In 2013, when I realized self-publication was not only possible but a reality, I began writing my third novel A Game of Hearts.

Indie publishing was a dream coming true, and these three novels began my writing career.

These weren’t the first novels I penned, but they were the first to enter the publishing world and to be offered to readers, in October of 2015. Even in that month, the whole Hearts in Hazard series was just a dream. I had only a vague idea of the series.

Each novel would be a stand-alone, dealing with a different conflict and a different setting. The characters and situations would reflect history accurately. Each would have suspense or mystery, with sweet romance sprinkled all through.

Rather than focusing on two characters only, I wanted each novel to focus on separate couples. Some characters might recur, but no main characters would again be primaries. Characters may enter early as secondary actors. The primary characters would be honorable and humble, good people struggling together through bad circumstances.

This Trio of Games

The individual books are available in ebook and paperback formats while the collections are ebook only. All of the novels are available in wide distribution: Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Amazon, and many other distributors. Find them at your favorite online bookstore. You can search for the individual titles or the series title under my pen name of M.A. Lee.

You can find the collection A Trio of Games at Amazon, ebook available at this link and the paperback here, and both ebook and paperback at worldwide distribution, with this link.

The other collected novels are A Trio of Dangers, A Trio of Keys, and A Trio of Hazards.

Hopefully, this will start a busy Summer of reading that will stretch into Autumn!
