Hayefield Manor

Hayefield Manor is not a welcoming place. Former Detective Inspector, Morgan Lloyd is trying to come to terms with losing her career and the fact that her ever distant fiancé can't even look at her since she became an amputee. She has no desire to become a PI yet she finds herself coerced into taking a case to covertly prove the innocence of the very aloof and even more alluring, Lady Sophie Haye.

However, her enticing new client happens to be the prime suspect in a series of high-profile murders which Morgan's fiancé and her ex-partner are investigating... It would be far easier if there weren't bodies turning up on the flowerbed; if the atmospheric estate didn't have creepy mists; creepier suits of armour, and if the captivating Lady Haye wasn't so determined to captivate her, spook her and stir the kind of loyalty that compels Morgan to cover for her.

With all around her, including Lady Haye herself, warning her not to fall in love and a trail of undeniable evidence pointing to her client's guilt, Morgan needs to unravel why someone innocent would go into hiding for nineteen years; why someone innocent would care more for the flowerbed than the body found on it, and if she's been snared into falling for a killer who is using her to cover her tracks... and she thought police work had been stressful.
