Desire Beneath the Pane: Regency Mystery Romance

Shortlisted for the 2027 Chanticleer Mystery & Mayhem Award.

In Regency London, a mysterious illness is spreading — and Lady Sidney Rosendale suspects it is no accident.

Too clever and too curious for polite society, Sidney refuses to look away when the evidence points towards something far more sinister than misfortune. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes.

Lord Julian Williams, Marquess of Exeter, is powerful, principled, and the last man Sidney expects to help her. Their views clash, their partnership is reluctant, and their growing attraction is entirely inconvenient. Yet Julian may be the only man willing to stand beside her when the stakes become deadly.

Enemies to allies. Opposites attract. An irresistible slow burn.

From hospital wards to glittering ballrooms and the shadowed banks of the Thames, Sidney and Julian follow a trail of secrets that reaches into the highest circles of power. With powerful enemies determined to silence the truth, they must risk their reputations, their safety, and their hearts.

Can they expose the conspiracy before it destroys everything — including the love neither expected to find?
