Author
Left on a Doorstep (The DuPree Dynasty - Book One)

England, 1896. On the cusp of her twenty-first birthday ball, Victoria Montgomery, daughter of a well-to-do family, learns that she has more in common with the young unwed mothers she helps in her London charity than she wanted to believe when she discovers she had been left as a baby on her parents’ doorstep. Now a ruthless baby seller is stalking her to take revenge.

But when a handsome stranger named Allistair attends Victoria’s ball to compel her to his family’s island estate to be reunited with her ill birth father, Victoria soon discovers she has a history of people trying to kill her. Even her grandmother once attempted to throw her into the sea.

Victoria develops feelings for Allistair, a man she must trust to have her best interests, as he helps unravel the plot against her as well as the lace on her evening dress. The next planned party is a masquerade ball — if Victoria can survive the event and remove the mask off her past.

Reviews
—Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite

“Beatrice Crew’s novel Left on a Doorstep is a compelling nineteenth-century, late Victorian era romance and mystery. The characters are well-developed and dialogue is used effectively to carry the story along. The engaging descriptive narrative is well-orchestrated, giving the reader a solid sense of time and place. The author knows the late Victorian era well and this is evident in her storytelling talents. There is a building tension as the mystery thickens and the romance evolves, making for an enormously enjoyable read.”

“Left on a Doorstep by Beatrice H. Crew is a beautiful historical tale of love, deceit, greed, kindness, and sacrifice. The plot had a unique depth. I loved the realistic storyline which still applies to the current world: the eternal message that people can often be cold and evil! Beatrice is a gifted storyteller, who pulled at my heartstrings with this emotional read. Her writing was stylish, and the story was easy to follow. . . . Thumbs up to Beatrice on this beautiful book. I look forward to more in the future.”

“Beatrice H. Crew spins a web of suspense that blends murder, mystery, and family issues into one unpredictable piece of entertainment. . . . I enjoyed the storyline and found the ending a surprise. The author reveals little acts of kindness can make just as large wave a of events as leaving a child on a doorstep for her safety.”

—Viga Boland for Readers’ Favorite

“Left on a Doorstep by Beatrice H. Crew was like watching those romantic movies set in the 1800s, or . . . Bridgerton. . . . A delightful read . . . . From its catchy title to the historically appropriate settings, clothing, pastimes, foods, mannerisms, terms of endearment, characters, and dialogue, this novel will please ardent historical romance fans. It is a well-executed blend of mystery and romance that can even win over non-romance readers like me. I thoroughly enjoyed it!”
