Miss Sophia's Snapdragon Enigma
(2026)(A book in the Victorian Valentines series)
A novel by Michelle Henrie
"A charming read! Sophia’s character is a breath of fresh air—and Captain Benedict Rowe plays the perfect swoony hero. MISS SOPHIA'S SNAPDRAGON ENIGMA is a refreshing high-stakes adventure with plenty of swoon-worthy romance."
—Heather B. Moore, USA Today bestselling author
London proclaimed her too bold. Too odd. Unmarriageable.
Miss Sophia Penrose doesn't care—she is too busy designing puzzle boxes to save the family shipping business. When Captain Benedict Rowe, a Customs Officer, announces that Sophia's father is the prime suspect in a smuggling operation, Sophia defends her father and audaciously offers to unearth his smugglers—for a fee.
Benedict should refuse. But this outrageous woman is his only hope in unmasking the smugglers who taunt him by leaving snapdragons in their wake. As they hunt for evidence, Benedict discovers what London missed: Sophia is maddening, brilliant—and utterly intoxicating. Although Sophia decodes the clues, her father’s arrest still looms. When the stakes turn deadly, Sophia must choose: her heart, her dreams, or her family. To save one, she must sacrifice the others.
But she's never passed up an impossible puzzle.
