The Masterful Mr. Montague LP (Casebook of Barnaby Adair) Stephanie Laurens Lgr edition

Montague has devoted his life to managing the wealth of London's elite, but at a huge cost: a family of his own. Then the enticing Miss Violet Matcham seeks his help, and he finds an intriguing new challenge professionally . . . and personally.

Violet, devoted lady-companion to the aging Lady Halstead, turns to Montague to reassure her ladyship that her affairs are in order. But Montague is not at all what she'd expected?this man is compelling, decisive, supportive, and strong?everything Violet needs in a champion, a position to which Montague rapidly lays claim.

But then Lady Halstead is murdered and Violet and Montague, aided by Barnaby Adair, Inspector Stokes, Penelope, and Griselda, race to expose a cunning and cold-blooded killer. Will Montague and Violet learn the shocking truth too late to seize their chance at enduring love?
