It's great to step out of your comfort zone and explore different authors. I think that is one great thing Amazon has done with Kindle, to expose us to many different authors we might never have found in the neighborhood book shop. Kathryn Johnson, writing as Mary Hart Perry, has taken on Jack the Ripper and written it from a completely different perspective, focusing on a love affair between the investigating detective and aunt of the main suspect.
If you like mystery, crime and historical romance then this will be a great read for you!

THE SHADOW PRINCESS, by Mary Hart Perry
To catch one of history’s most notorious killers, a princess
risks losing her family, her life—and her heart…
London,
1888: A year after Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee terror mounts in the city's
slums. A killer has butchered two prostitutes, the crimes brutal even by
London’s hardened standards. Rumors of the murders reach Princess Vicky,
daughter of Queen Victoria and grieving widow of the German Emperor Frederick
III. When her niece Princess Maud visits, she brings with her even worse
news--the Metropolitan Police have a suspect. It’s Vicky’s nephew, Crown Prince
Eddy. Desperate to clear her family's name, Vicky rushes back to England.
Detective
Inspector Thomas Edmondson believes there is a royal cover-up behind the
killings. He will stop at nothing to expose the truth and bring a murderer to
justice before he can kill again. But when Vicky joins him in searching
for the man who will become known as Jack the Ripper, neither of them foresee
the overpowering attraction that will draw together the royal and the
commoner—or the danger their love puts them in.
