The Governess of Greyveil Manor: A Gripping Gothic Victorian Romance and Murder Mystery

A missing sister. A dangerous masquerade. A deadly secret hidden in the shadows.

To the polite world of 1880s London, Marianne is merely a highly sought-after courtesan.

But beneath her painted smiles lies a desperate woman hunting for her vanished twin sister.

When she is offered an eye-watering sum by the icy Lady Grimshaw to act as a "honey trap" governess at the remote Greyveil Manor, Marianne seizes the chance. Her mission is to distract a dangerous rogue, but her true objective is far more personal—Greyveil is the place from which her sister last communicated.

Sir Dominic Harrow, a respectable baronet and neighbour to the estate, is certain of one thing: the demure new governess is the mesmerising siren with whom he shared an unforgettable, passionate night in London.

Though Dominic is exasperated by the perilous game Marianne is playing, he cannot deny their forbidden attraction, even as they become entangled in a web of dark family secrets.

But Greyveil Manor is a house of deadly traps.

As Marianne inches closer to the horrifying truth about her sister's disappearance, she finds herself caught in a sinister conspiracy orchestrated by ruthless enemies. With a cold-blooded killer circling and her own life suddenly on the line, Marianne and Dominic must risk everything to unmask the villain—before Marianne becomes the next woman to vanish into the manor's shadows.

The Governess of Greyveil Manor delivers a dark, atmospheric Gothic murder mystery filled with romance, deception, and unforgivable secrets.
