The eldest daughter of Romeo and Juliet rejects the betrothal planned by her parents and tries to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. - Random House, Inc.
Iâm the eldest daughter of Romeo and Juliet. Yes, that Romeo and Juliet. No, they didnât die in the tomb. Theyâre alive and well and living in fair Verona with their six wildly impetuous children and me, their nineteen-year-old daughter Rosaline…
Knives Out meets Bridgerton in Fair Verona, as New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd kicks off a frothy, irreverent, witty new series with an irresistible premiseâtold from the delightfully engaging point of view of Romeo and Julietâs clever, rebellious, fiercely independent daughter, Rosie Montague.
âFun, funny, charming, and absolutely delightful. Â If youâre looking for a novel to sweep you away and lift your spirits, look no further.â â KRISTIN HANNAH, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only hereâs the thing: Thatâs not how it ended at all.
Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. Iâm the oldest, with the emphasis on âoldââa certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. Itâs not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture itâconstant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out . . . itâs exhausting.
Each time theyâve presented me with a betrothal, Iâve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isnât so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wivesâall of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I donât have to . . .
At our betrothal ballâwhere, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sightâI stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? His late wivesâ families, his relatives, his mistress, his servantsâhalf of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer . . . before death lies on me like an untimely frost.
