Flora Fitzgerald’s life is quiet, predictable, and blissfully drama-free—until one simple act of kindness catapults her straight into Frambleberry’s biggest scandal.

After handing a tissue to a tearful stranger in the park, Flora finds herself mistaken for the close confidante of Elizabeth Longbottom, the high-society darling who's just been spectacularly fired from the Van Loon Art Gallery. Overnight, Flora becomes headline news—chased by persistent reporters, whispered about by nosy neighbours, and hounded for gossip she doesn’t even have.

And when she literally falls into the arms of Jamie Longbottom—Elizabeth’s charming, infuriatingly handsome brother—the situation takes an even more complicated turn.

But beneath all the laughter, glamour, and small-town gossip, something darker is unfolding. Who’s behind the carefully timed media leaks? Why is someone determined to ruin Elizabeth’s reputation? And when scandal turns sinister, who can Flora really trust?

What began as a comical misunderstanding spirals into a gripping tale of betrayal, secrets, and small-town mystery. Flora must navigate friendship, family loyalties, and a budding romance—all while deciding if she's ready to step into the spotlight... or if she should run a mile in the opposite direction.

A heartwarming romantic comedy blended with an edge-of-your-seat cozy mystery, Flora and the Longbottoms is perfect for fans of intriguing scandals, slow-burn romance, and one delightfully soggy picnic.
