Crimes Against the Crown follows Clarissa Turner’s exploits as a young woman born into a family of privilege and embroiled in a world full of intrigue and suspense in the years following the Napoleonic Wars.

As Clarissa comes of age, she discovers that her life to this point has been a lie.
Having believed herself to be a bastard, she discovers that her family are agents of the Crown tasked with protecting the interests of Great Britain at home and abroad. As she becomes embroiled in the family business, she meets Miles Johnson, a bitter but handsome man searching for his identity as the wrongfully Untitled son of Lord Shellard.
