Mystery
In disgrace with her aristocratic in-laws, recently widowed
Lady Fieldhurst is exiled to Scotland with her three young
nephews in tow. On impulse, she and the boys decide to stay
at an isolated seaside inn under an assumed name, where they
can enjoy a holiday far away from the scandal that still
plagues the family. But trouble soon finds them when the boys discover an
unconscious woman on the beach--a woman who bears a
startling resemblance to the local laird's daughter, missing
and presumed dead for the last fifteen years. Uncertain
whether to welcome her as a returning prodigal or denounce
her as a fraud, Angus Kirkbride sends to London for a Bow
Street runner--which presents a dilemma for Lady Fieldhurst,
since she has chosen to call herself Mrs. Pickett after the
handsome young man who saved her from hanging for the murder
of her husband. Meanwhile John Pickett, hopelessly pining for Lady
Fieldhurst, resolves to forget her by marrying another. When
magistrate Patrick Colquhoun receives Kirkbride's summons,
he packs Pickett off to Scotland before his most junior
runner can do anything rash. Upon his arrival, Pickett is surprised (though not at all
displeased) to discover that he has acquired a "wife" in the
person of Lady Fieldhurst. But when Angus Kirkbride dies
only hours after announcing his intention of changing his
will in his daughter's favor, "Mr. and Mrs. Pickett" must
join forces to discover the truth about a family reunion
suddenly turned deadly.

Re: Family Plot
Love your story on foxglove. I like reading historical because
I always learn something. Enjoy Colorado; my mother was from
there.

Your book sounds like the perfect mystery to curl up with on
a snowy Winters' day, with a cup of hot cocoa, and one of my
kittens. The cover to your book is really beautifully done
- it's mysterious in its' own way, yet the way the
coloration is done with the scenery, it has a beauty that's
hard to put into words!! I'll definately be putting your
book on my TBR list to read this upcoming Winter.
Congratulations on what I'm sure is going to be a big
seller!!
