From bestselling author Patricia Rice comes another romantic Regency mystery rife with unpredictable peril. . .
Menaced by a madman, a widow and a soldier seek safety. . . and discover so much more.
Recently widowed Kate Morgan supports her family as a seamstress in Gravesyde Village. She needs a husband to farm her land but is losing hope of finding love. With her insane brother-in-law claiming her home, she might even lose that.
Battle-worn and bitter, Sergeant Major Fletch Ferguson returns from war with a single goal: fix clocks, not lives. But when the widow's lunatic relation threatens her, Fletch's fighting instincts ignite. The resultant battle leaves him temporarily disabled, Kate terrified, and a madman on the loose.
When a cousin who resembles Kate falls to her death, Fletch refuses to believe in coincidence and insists on moving in to protect her and her children. Terrified, Kate has no reason to deny the surly ex-soldier's offer, especially after a string of suspicious accidents and deaths involving her fellow seamstresses follows.
Can one madman really be behind all of the dangerous incidents? Fletch would far rather deal with the manor's eccentric case clock than lunatics and killers. But with women and children endangered, he and a furious Kate must stop the villain before anyone else must mourn a loved one.
Anne Gracie, author of the bestselling Heiress's Daughter, praises Rice's mysteries as wonderful, fun, gothic. . . with a cast of quirky characters and a heartwarming romance as well. Pure entertainment.
