"At just fifteen years old, Veronica Fancourt is already turning heads with her compelling stories, inspired by her vivid dreams. Her latest publication is a gripping tale of heists and cathedrals, entitled “The Countess’s Keep.” It’s captured the imagination of everyone who chances to read it, including someone for whom it is no mere fantasy. Meanwhile, an employee of a coffee roaster in Trieste discovers her bosses are more than ordinary businessmen. She finds herself tied up in a dark warehouse as bait for a sister she insists she doesn’t have.
The Duchess, savoring her successful spring, finds herself beset by twin threats to her empire, neither of which she can conquer alone. Her precarious position reawakens the darker impulses she’s worked tirelessly to deny. Can she call upon her friends—her only family—to assist her, or will her obsessions drive them out of her life forever?
And why is there another voice in her head?
The Duchess and the Indigo Child is the second installment in the Her Violet Empire series from author Scott A. Clark. This colorful new chapter of the series explores love under pressure, debts of family long forgotten, and coffee…lots of coffee."
"Martin Alcott, an out of work IT Engineer, can’t shake his recurring nightmares of skyscrapers and cathedrals. This morning’s dream was different, though: he’s now certain he’s being watched. Halfway up London’s newest high-rise, Martin arrives promptly for his first job interview in weeks, only to find the office empty in more ways than one.
Meanwhile, The Duchess, a powerful and enigmatic woman, sits at her desk high in her tower mansion. A panicked phone call alerts her to a deviation in her meticulous plan, and she sees a stranger on her security cameras. She's stunned to realize…
I’ve seen that face before."
