  Insomnia and a passion for astronomy keep Lady Violet Holloway awake all
  night. She’s content to remain alone with her telescopes and treatises, until
  an unexpected marriage proposal changes everything. Though she’s never met
  him, Violet is handed off to a lord whose name is only mentioned in whispers.
  
  Alexander Kenyon is the Duke of Dunmere...better known as the Duke of Death,
  after losing three wives under unusual 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 intriguing she
  is. As an agent of the Zodiac, he tasked with solving a string of perplexing
  murders hinting at a political conspiracy.
  
  As the stars spin overhead, the date of the next murder draws near. Violet and
  Alex must work together to stop it, or risk losing the life they’ve found
  together.
