A Most Intriguing Lady: A Novel weaves historical romance with high-society mystery in Victorian Britain. A duke’s youngest daughter, Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, appears to be the perfect, quiet Victorian lady—but beneath her reserved exterior lies a sharp mind and a hidden talent for detection.
In a world where the wealthy fear scandal more than crime, art thieves, con men, and gentleman burglars move freely through country houses and grand estates. Discreet help is needed, and Mary’s carefully cultivated, mousey persona lets her observe everything while remaining invisible to those around her.
Mary’s secret career as an amateur sleuth begins at a lavish house party at her family’s Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle. There she crosses paths with Colonel Walter Trefusis, a decorated war veteran with his own double life in British Intelligence. Together they pursue a series of daring crimes while navigating an intense, on‑again, off‑again romance.
Paced with intrigue, wit, and romance, this historical saga offers an entertaining glimpse into the hidden dangers and desires of Victorian high society, following a heroine who manages to be both an impeccable lady and an unexpectedly gifted detective.
