Chronic insomnia--and a love for astronomy--keeps Lady Violet Holloway up all night. She's content to remain alone with her telescopes and treatises on comets, until a sudden marriage proposal changes everything. Though she's never even met him, Violet is handed off to a lord whose name people only mention in whispers. And yet, she can't believe what they say about her new husband.Alexander Kenyon is the Duke of Dunmere...better known as the Duke of Death, after losing three wives in strange circumstances. He's learned his lesson about the dangers of falling in love, so this marriage is purely for convenience. He has no time for a bride anyway, no matter how unexpectedly intriguing she is. As an agent of the ring of spies called the Zodiac, he has a string of perplexing murders to solve. Violet and Alex seem to have nothing in common, but both will be drawn into the clutches of a killer obsessed with the night sky. As the stars spin overhead, the date of the next murder approaches, and Violet and Alex must work together to stop it, or risk losing the life they've finally found together.
