Red Money

In the shadowed parlors of Victorian England, a fortune lies at the heart of a web of deception. When a woman of modest means catches the eye of a wealthy aristocrat, she finds herself entangled in a world where bloodlines matter more than heartbeats, and old money guards its secrets with deadly seriousness. As hidden pasts surface and the true cost of 'red money' becomes clear, characters must choose between the comfortable lie of respectability and the dangerous truth of their hearts. Hume, master of the sensation novel, weaves a tale where every marriage is a negotiation, every inheritance carries a ghost, and the corruption runs deeper than the oldest family name.
