The Missing Baroness

A cozy Regency mystery with a hidden heiress, slow-burn romance, and layered intrigue–perfect for fans of heroines who fight for their place in the world.

No one has seen Georgina Bligh in a decade–not since the night her uncle murdered her father and tried to eliminate her as well. Hidden away with her best friend’s family, Georgina has spent the intervening years preparing to claim her rightful place as Baroness of Elmsford. But when a near collision with her uncle on a London street shatters her anonymity, she’s forced to act before her twenty-first birthday.

Silas Bligh is desperate. Deep in debt and determined to control the Elmsford estate, he’s on the verge of having Georgina declared legally dead. But unbeknownst to him, her father’s true will disinherited Silas–and Georgina must find it to expose his lies.

With the aid of her steadfast beau, Lord Bertram Redwick, and a tight-knit group of loyal allies, Georgina embarks on a tense and dangerous search through hidden ledgers, long-buried secrets, and the upper echelons of London society. As the legal deadline looms, a new threat rises–someone willing to use extortion and violence to ensure the truth stays buried forever.

For fans of Mimi Matthews’s fiercely independent heroines, Sophie Irwin’s nuanced character arcs, and the dark intrigue of Kelly Bowen, this first book in The Inconvenient Heirs Series blends mystery, romance, and feminist grit in a compelling fight for justice and identity–set against the opulent and treacherous upper crust of Regency London.
