Victorian cook-turned-sleuth Kat Holloway is no stranger to scandal, but this case strikes closer than ever.
Her beloved Daniel McAdam is risking his life yet again, posing as a secretary to a suspicious viscount with ties to treasonous plots. One final mission, his superior claims, and Daniel’s dangerous debt will be cleared for good.
But secrets are everywhere. Kat’s friends are being blackmailed, forced to align with a political agenda that could upend the Crown itself. The deeper Kat digs, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t just about Daniel’s freedom. It’s about survival.
To protect the man she loves and the monarchy they both serve, Kat must untangle a web of lies spun at the highest levels of society.
If she fails, it won’t just be Daniel she loses.
