Lady Avely's Guide to Guile and Peril
(2025)(The third book in the Matronly Misadventures series)
A novel by Rosalie Oaks
A widow shouldn’t infiltrate a military fort… unless she is wearing a mobcap.
When the Duke of Sargen is snatched away before her eyes, Judith knows she must follow him into Pendennis Castle before he can be stripped of his Gift and his memory. After all, she hasn’t had a chance to tell the man that she loves him yet.
But when she finds him imprisoned, Dacian has already forgotten her. Worse, his captor refuses to believe Judith’s testimony and sets her a task to prove her Truth Discernment: discover who killed a soldier found dead on the Cornwall seashore.
The body washed up near Judith’s new domain: a tidal island with a rundown castle, haunted cellars, and massive butler who is most definitely hiding something. Judith must call on all her resourcefulness—and her most trusted companions—to find the truth before the week is up... before Dacian is lost to her forever.
How does one jailbreak a duke if he can’t even remember his own name? Does a killer lurk in Judith's own castle? And does Lanyon Isle have any drinking chocolate?
The thrilling conclusion to the Matronly Misadventures, featuring an amnesiac duke, a determined widow, and a daring jailbreak. Enjoy a slow burn, low spice second-chance romance and a twisty murder mystery in a magical version of Regency England.
