Lady Grace sees her chance to prove her value to the crown. She’ll do anything to avoid endless weeks of ballrooms and beaus, even if that means being in close quarters with the man pledged to her best friend.

COLLAPSEDebbie Lacey on Amazon wrote:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A real page turner. I couldn't read this book fast enough! An engrossing story as Lady Grace and Lord Roland struggle to determine who stole the ruby dagger just presented to the Crown. Lots of twists and turns with a thoroughly satisfying ending.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Grace and Roland are back with a complex mystery and even more complicated relationship. After stumbling upon a body in the throne room during a state dinner, the two are once again thrown together to solve the crime quickly and with the utmost discretion. Although I had my suspicions about the culprits in this outing, I was engaged in the investigation and did not have the complete picture until the facts were revealed.
