Scandals, seduction and secrets… and one woman’s quest to uncover the truth

Wallflower Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott has a secret. Moving effortlessly unnoticed amongst the ballrooms and palaces of Queen Victoria, her sharp intelligence and keen powers of observation allow her to quietly solve society crimes – coming to the rescue of those whose pride and fortune are at stake.

Overlooked and underestimated, Mary finds missing money, recovers stolen jewellery and saves reputations. When she meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, an unlikely and spirited alliance is formed. But Mary has more than met her match in her sleuthing partner. As she battles the expectations of society and her family, Mary must follow her heart – whatever the cost… Readers love A Woman of Intrigue… 'This was a book that held me in thrall, at times with my heart in my mouth and at others with hope… I can't wait for the next book' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
