Heavy is the head that wears the crown—especially when the chandelier comes crashing down first!
Former American animal trainer Rebecca Orange never expected her life to turn into a modern fairy tale. Moving to Monrovia was supposed to be a fresh start, but falling head over heels for Duke Jack swept her straight into the royal spotlight. Now, she's facing her biggest role yet:
Queen Regent.
Having just relocated to the breathtaking Castle Glorieux in the capital city of Bellejardin, Rebecca and Jack are days away from being crowned. But royal grandeur turns into high-society homicide when the presiding magistrate is crushed to death by a falling crystal chandelier.It’s no tragic accident—someone in the capital will stop at nothing to prevent them from taking the throne.
With the ceremony in jeopardy and the kingdom on edge, Rebecca sets out to catch the killer, flanked by her fiercely loyal, oversized Tibetan Mastiff, Joe. Yet investigating murder from inside the palace walls is a perilous game. The retiring Queen Margarethe wants her niece-in-law to act like a traditional royal instead of an amateur sleuth, even while Rebecca juggles mentoring the impressionable future queen, Princess Valencia. Worse, anti-monarchist politicians and relentless tabloid reporters smell blood, eager to use Rebecca’s unorthodox detective work as proof the crown must fall once and for all.
To save her future, her husband’s legacy, and the kingdom itself, Rebecca will have to outsmart a killer hidden in plain sight before the bells toll for her coronation.
Welcome to Bellejardin—where the castle is grander, the stakes are lethal, and the newest royal is on the hunt!
