A Daughter of Fair Verona is by Christina Dodd. A charming historical fiction look at Romeo and Juliet's daughter; the first in the Daughter of Montague series. Romeo and Juliet didn't die, they lived and had a bunch of children. The oldest daughter is named Rosaline and she doesn't want to marry. However, her parents betroth her to a man whose last three wives have died under suspicious circumstances. When she is found in the garden at her betrothal party standing over the body of the husband-to-be, Rosaline must discover who really killed him and why. This novel was completely charming. It is the first in a series, so there will be more for fans who want to know more about Rosaline.
