Will the feisty royal princess and her faithful earl succeed at detective work, only to fail at the thing that matters most... their growing love for one another?
Princess Mary Armstrong-Leeds and Lord Cannington, aka Bennet Brown, find themselves elbow-deep in cases when their boss leaves them in charge of his detective agency. Their latest case falls a little too close to home. Mary's best friend's twin brother is missing, and it is up to the detective duo to find Phillip Michaels before any harm can befall the quiet scholar.
From Boston's gambling clubs and opium dens, to the underbelly of ancient artifact trading, Mary and her earl discover more than they bargained for. But if they succeed in solving this latest case, what will be the cost?
Can Mary have it all, in a world that still believes the only suitable role for a woman is wife and mother?
This is part 2 of Mary and Bennet's trilogy, yet it is still a stand-alone story in the Boston Heiresses series. It features a heroine who flouts every restriction placed on women in the 1890s—and Mary does it, with style.
