London, 1887. Part stoic gentleman, part fearless Yard man, Zeno “Zak” Kennedy is an enigma of the first order. For years, the memory of a deadly bombing at King’s Cross has haunted the brilliant Scotland Yard detective. His investigation has zeroed in on a ring of aristocratic rebels whose bloody campaign for Irish revolution is terrorizing the city. When he discovers one of the treacherous lords is acquainted with his free-spirited new tenant, Cassandra St. Cloud, his inquiry pulls him unexpectedly close to the heart of the conspiracy and into the arms of a most intriguing lady.
And Cassie is no Victorian prude. An Impressionist painter with very modern ideas about life and love, she is eager for a romantic escapade that is daring and discreet. She sets her sights on her dour but handsome landlord, but after she learns their meeting was not purely accidental, she hardly has a chance to forgive her lover before their passionate affair catapults them both into a perilous adventure.
I enjoy reading the interviews on an author
Msrtha C,
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow. Sounds so interesting. I’m looking for a great new book.
Hi Wanda! AN AFFAIR WITH MR. KENNEDY runs the sub-genre gamut of historical romance, mystery and suspense. If you like the idea of reading several sub genres at once this is the book for you! Lol!
Great interview. I am like you I don’t have just a favorite book, I have hundreds. Now I do have favorites by authors, but no one single fav. Great blurb and love the cover-very sexy couple. Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi Chris,
I don’t know how people can choose one favorite book. And yes the cover gods did smile on me! RT Book Reviews recently ran a Cover/Celebrity feature and compared Mr. Kennedy to Matthew Fox from LOST…not bad! 😉
Wow, great interview! I love how mysteriously badass/romantic/mysterious the cover is, and IT SOUNDS SO INTERESTING!! I wanna read it!! Haha. Thanks for this giveaway!
Hi CYP, I love the deep shadows and the intensity of Mr. Kennedy. The cover designer really captured the character in the book!
Love the interview! I’ve been very interested in this book (: It has everything I love, from the historical London setting to an intriguing couple. Thank you for the giveaway!

To all of you who have stopped by, thank you so much for your interest. No matter who wins a copy of Mr. Kennedy or the Steampunk watch necklace, I hope you all get a chance to read the books!
I adore books that take place in 19th century London and I have been keeping my eye of this one for a while now. Do you have a specific writing schedule? Do you find that you are more creative in the morning or as a night owl?

I am really intrigued by the book cover also the first two words from the blurb London, 1887 definitely sold it.
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂

Nice change of pace on the date, huh? Late Victorian is the timeframe for both the Scotland Yard detective series and my Steampunk Paranormal Investigator Phaeton Black (releases in April).
Congratulations Mariee!
