THE SPINSTER'S RESOLVE

A Regency Mystery Romance

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Historical Mystery and Regency Romance

It is a truth universally acknowledged that spinsters make the best sleuths.Who better to master the fine art of sitting quietly in the corner, sipping tea-and overhearing everything?Miss Grace Skye had no intention of getting involved. After all, she'd already made peace with her spinsterhood. Snubbed in the marriage mart for her sharp wit and mixed heritage (too English for India, too Indian for England-entirely exhausting), she had resigned herself to a quiet life of books, tea, and staying well out of trouble.But when her ancestral home is snatched away by a frail but cunning duke, and his delightfully evil steward begins terrorising her tenants, Grace reaches her limit. Matters only worsen when young women start to disappear.Enraged, Grace does what any respectable spinster would do: she pens a scathing letter to the duke demanding justice. It does not go well. Instead of resolving matters, the letter sets off a chain of events involving danger, deception, and devastating consequences. Days later, her beloved cook vanishes without a trace, and Grace cannot shake the sickening feeling that she brought danger straight to her door!With no one else to rely on, Grace disguises herself as a no-nonsense old maid to investigate. Unfortunately, she immediately crosses paths with Gabriel Stone-a maddeningly attractive, dangerously charming man of business who seems to know far too much. Is he friend or foe? She hasn't the faintest idea.But with her sister to protect, secrets to uncover, and time running out, Grace must risk everything to solve the mystery-even her heart.
