Same book as the one by Karen L King. Apparently she uses two names. Want to read how this series got started. They keep referring to the duel that Victor and Keene (not sure on his spelling) fought. And Tony getting shot by these cursed pistols. Love that they don't decode the rest of the curse til the last page of the book.Leonard, Lenny, Lydia, Lyddie - all one and the same.Victor- very stubborn, got a lot of baggage, but seems to take things on himself that are no way his fault.Trevor - stubborn but very "American" at least to HelenaHelena - uppity English aristocrat...not so uppity when it all comes down to it.
