Lancelot Nowlton, Viscount Lakehurst, writes gothic novels.

The widow Lady Cassandra Tidemark, Marchioness of Darkford, is living a gothic nightmare.

The young marchioness is haunted by nightmarish visions of a past she can't escape. The memory of her husband's death, shrouded in a ritualistic mystery reminiscent of Sir Francis Dashwood's notorious Hell Fire club, casts a chilling pall over her life.

By chance, Cassandra reads a bestselling gothic novel penned by the elusive ‘Anonymous’ that describes what happened that night. To her shock, she discovers that Viscount Lakehurst is the author, and she accuses him of her husband's murder.

But the meddling Dowager Duchess of Malmsby, Lakehurst's grandmother, sees a potential match in Cassandra for her grandson, Viscount Lakehurst, and devises a quest to throw the two together and unearth the truth about Lord Darkford's death.

The pursuit of truth unearths long-buried Darkford family secrets, revealing a web of deception, murder, and danger.

In "An Artful Secret," love and mystery entwine, testing the bonds of the heart against a backdrop of deceit, fraud, and revenge. Amidst the shadows, Cassandra and Lakehurst are drawn together. Can they conquer the Darkford past and unearth the secrets that will set them free?

Holly Newman lives near the gulf coast with her husband Ken, and six cats. She became interested in the Regency period while in high school when she volunteered at her local community library to reshelve returned books. Every week there were Georgette Heyer novels to be shelved. Curious, she checked one out and became immersed in the world of the regency. Ten years later she became involved in a regency historical re-creation group complete with the mode of dress, manners, and dancing. It was no wonder that when it came to writing a novel, regencies were high on the list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another great book in this series
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
Verified Purchase
I have enjoyed this series quite a lot. The books are individual stories tied together by the characters. Each is a romance for one couple combined with a mystery. I enjoy how both the romance and mystery are complete by the the end of each book, and yet the characters show up in the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder, intrigue, love. What's not to like?

This author never disappoints. I've been enjoying the entire series and can't wait for the next one! Creative and endearing characters with murder, intrigue and love all wrapped up in the regency era. Newman certainly does her research to accurately depict the language and customs of the time, throwing the reader into an entirely different world with ease. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a cozy mystery and/or regency romance.

My 1st Holly Newman book. After just finishing a Stephen King novel, her writing style was so different. I enjoyed the characters and the story.

I feel like I’ve read some version of this book 100 times and there was no real anything. No surprises, no spice, no tension and the romantic aspect was ridiculous. Just lots of meh. Not bad just very forgettable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little darker subject
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024

Cassandra and Lancelot have a lot of baggage and misconceptions about themselves. Cassie's husband was murdered in a ritualistic manner and she barely escaped but not without injury. Her late husband's fascination with Satan and the occult along with his secrets has been the stuff of nightmares in the almost two years since his death.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, Romance, Suspense Gothic Tale
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023
This book was great, lots of intrigue, suspense, mystery and romance all rolled into one story. Lady Cassandra Darkford is living a nightmare. Her husband died under strange circumstances. Now she lives a half-life as her brother-in-law, Edmund, and his wife Vanessa want to have her committed and take her son away. While attending a dinner at the house of Lord Lakehurst and his sister, Lady Guinevere, she reads part of a gothic book and screams. The story is just like her nightmares! Wow, Lakehurst and his family set out to help Cassie and her son. She is at first shocked but then sees they only mean to help her. As they follow leads and find out information there is much more to the night her husband died then any expected. With the Duchess keeping the young boy safe. Cassie, Lakehurst and Ginnie set out to find out what really happened and why. Edmund and Vanessa are quite the evil, nasty pair hoping they would get what was coming to them. There is a lot going on in this fast-paced story. Lots of twists and turns and villains you don’t expect. Thu everything that happens it the slowing growing attraction and more for Cassie and Lakehurst (Lancelot). He is the only person who makes her feel safe, I loved that. This whole series is great and can be read as standalone. So much better read in order. You don’t want to miss this one. I received and ARC from the author and wish to thank her. This is my honest opinion and am freely giving it.
