🔎 A fiery letter. A missing cook. A dangerous conspiracy. A spinster detective who refuses to mind her own business.

Miss Grace Skye has no patience for suitors, social niceties, or the ruthless steward terrorising her estate. Rejected by the marriage mart due to her mixed heritage, she has embraced her independence—until her ancestral home is seized by an aging Duke, and the tenants whisper of mistreatment and fear.

Furious at the injustice plaguing her estate, Grace pens a scathing letter to the elusive Duke, demanding answers. It should have been the end of it. Instead, her letter unleashes a chain of treachery, peril, and unforeseen consequences.

Days later, her beloved cook, Melissa, vanishes without a trace. And Grace cannot shake the dreadful suspicion that it is her letter that put Melissa in danger.

Determined to set things right, Grace embarks on a reckless quest for the truth—only to cross paths with Gabriel Stone, a maddeningly handsome man of business with too many secrets and far too much charm. Friend or foe? She can’t decide—so she disguises herself as a no-nonsense old maid to investigate the mystery consuming her home… and to shield her foolish heart from temptation.

💀 Murder. Mystery. Matchmaking gone awry. This madcap Regency cosy mystery is packed with:

✔ A fiercely determined heroine in disguise.
✔ A brooding hero who is both infuriating and irresistible.
✔ A slow-burn, clean romance filled with wit, tension, and longing.
✔ More twists and turns than a country dance.

But danger lurks in the shadows as Grace gets closer to the truth. With time running out, will she unravel the mystery before she becomes the next to disappear? Or will she lose her home—and her heart—to the one man she cannot trust?
