Publisher's summary

The first in a new series by 10-time USA Today best-selling author Jess Michaels.

Although Celeste Montgomery was forced into a marriage a year ago, her husband is more often gone than home, and she is living a quiet life. Until Investigator Owen Gregory shows up at her home to tell her some outrageous news: Her husband has been murdered...and he was also a bigamist, making her the third of three wives.

Owen Gregory was hired to investigate Celeste’s husband, but he never thought it would lead him here, to this beautiful woman whose life he just shattered. Once he determines she couldn’t be the murderer, he asks her to join him in London, in the hopes she can help him solve the crime.

Now they must navigate two other wives, a brokenhearted brother, and a duke who keeps poking his nose in as they work to determine who killed Erasmus Montgomery. Not to mention the intense feelings and passionate desires growing between them. But will secrets long held endanger them in ways they never imagined? And will they find a way to save each other before it’s too late?

Heat level: very. Just very, very, very.

This is the first book in the Three Mrs. series.

Great Murder Mystery and Romance

I loved this book. Not sure why the other review said it was predictable, other than the hero and heroine did get together in the end. The rest of the book was a total mystery. I did not guess the murderer until the reveal at the end. I have been listening to historical romance for some time and I will say this is the best book to date. Having just discovered Jess Michaels, she has fast become one of my favorites. Can't wait to read the rest of the series to see what happens to the other characters in this book. Stevie Zimmerman as a narrator was superb. Both male and female voices were great.
