Lady Tinbough’s Dilemma
Ishbel has made up her mind to never marry when she meets Ewan MacPherson, who tests that resolution. He helps her with the task her cousin has set to find a missing necklace, but it grows a lot more complicated when a dead body is found...
The Dead Duke
When Ishbel and Ewan take on the case of a duke supposedly murdered by his actress mistress, Ishbel’s cousin threatens to disown her while Edinburgh's upper classes are appalled. As they uncover secrets others want to remain hidden, their own relationship is threatened by the public discovery of a scandal from Ishbel's past. Is her repeated refusal to follow society's conventions about to ruin her life as well as her partnership with Ewan, and will they ever manage to solve the mystery of who murdered the duke?
A Dangerous Past
When Ishbel agrees to help her lady’s maid, Lucy, discover why a friend was killed, Ishbel must find a way to end the estrangement between herself and Ewan so they can work together again. Unwilling to let her face risks alone, Ewan consents to help her, but he remains hurt and angry at the way she previously treated him.
Morag Duncan, who was murdered in an alleyway, turns out to have been involved in selling stolen goods and, as keen as Ishbel and Ewan are to solve the crime, there is someone else who is equally determined to stop them. As the danger increases, Ishbel and Ewan's personal relationship improves until the arrival of Ewan’s sister, who wants him to end his investigations into crimes as well as his association with Ishbel. Torn between his love for his sister and for Ishbel, what will Ewan decide?
