#1 National Bestselling Romance

2025 New England Readers' Choice Award Winner

From USA Today Bestselling Author and Daphne du Maurier Award Winner Grace Callaway comes a riveting tale of passion, peril, and a love for all time...

She buried her husband twelve years ago...didn't she?

As the founder of a society of lady detectives, beautiful and intrepid widow Lady Charlie Fayne has made it her life's mission to help women in need. Her desire stems from her own dark past...which rises like a spectre during her latest case. Suddenly, everything she has worked for—her independence, her society, and her future—is threatened by secrets and heartbreak she cannot escape...and steamy passion she cannot resist.

Torn between her past and present, between a charming new suitor and a seductive second chance romance, Charlie must decide her own fate. Yet every move she makes also unravels a deadly mystery that could lead to her undoing. Choosing who to trust and who to love will prove to be Charlie's most perilous mission yet.

"The BEST second-chance historical romance with estranged spouses that I've ever read." -triviareads

"Charlie and [the hero] have all the GC magic – connection, passion, angst, and swoon. With a mystery to uncover and a past to work through, Callaway shows why when second chance romances are done well they can be a top tier read." -SadieReads
