You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only here’s the thing: That’s not how it ended at all. Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I’m the oldest, with the emphasis on “old”—a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out . . . it’s exhausting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach time they’ve presented me with a betrothal, I’ve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isn’t so easy to palm off. The debaucher has had three wives—all of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I don’t have to . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt our betrothal ball—where, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e something to love at first sight—I stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? Half 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.\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eA Daughter of Fair Verona:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Fun, funny, charming, and absolutely delightful.  If you’re looking for a novel to sweep you away and lift your spirits, look no further.” \u003cb\u003e—Kristin Hannah, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \"A sharp, determined heroine, a clever historical mystery, sparkling wit, a unique setting, family drama and a dash of romance.” \u003cb\u003e—Amanda Quick, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Lady Has a Past\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Shakespeare may roll over—then he’ll sit up and applaud!!”\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e—\u003cb\u003eMary Bly (Eloisa James), Shakespearean professor and \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestselling Author of \u003ci\u003eLizzie and Dante\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Who has the audacity to write a book about Romeo and Juliet’s daughter? Christina Dodd, that’s who!  With its twisty plot and engaging characters, \u003ci\u003eA Daughter of Fair Verona\u003c\/i\u003e is charming, funny, and totally engaging.
