But when petty scandals lead to bloody murder, her outspoken nature could be all that keeps her alive... Following a whirlwind engagement to Viscount Lyndy Lyndhurst, Stella is finding her footing within an elite social circle in picturesque rural England.

Now, Stella and her fiance must fight against the current to catch the culprit, before theyre the next couple torn apart by tragedy.
