The Bachelor Spy
Book 5 of the Freddie & Grace Mystery series
In 1914 England, Stephen Blake is sent to Havensbrooke Hall, now serving as a wartime hospital, to identify a German spy operating close enough to threaten British security. Grace becomes entangled in the investigation as thefts, mistaken identities, and suspicious movements suggest the enemy's reach is wider than expected. Kidnapping and hidden tunnels turn an already delicate intelligence mission into a race through the estate's secrets. This historical romantic adventure combines espionage, country-house atmosphere, humor, and a partnership forged while Europe is sliding into war.
