They Mocked the Bee Lady—But the Duke Saw Her Run Straight Toward the Swarm

They mocked her as the “bee lady.” Then, when a dark swarm swept across the Duke’s breakfast terrace and everyone fled, she did the unthinkable—she ran straight toward it. 🐝 In this regency romance, Miss Georgiana Marden risks everything to save the Duke of Haverstock’s terrified mother, never imagining that one act of courage will place her at the center of a far darker scandal. A missing skep. A cream glove hidden in crushed lavender. Straw fibres caught in its seam. A strand of black silk trembling on a thorn. Someone brought that swarm toward the terrace deliberately—and someone expected to benefit from the panic. What begins as a regency romance filled with quiet attraction and restrained longing becomes a dangerous battle over truth, reputation, and the price of being believed. As whispers spread through society, Georgiana is transformed from heroine to suspect. The same people who once laughed at her knowledge now accuse her of staging the danger for the Duke’s attention. But Peregrine, Duke of Haverstock, saw what they did not. He saw her run toward the woman everyone else abandoned. He noticed the fear she tried to hide beneath her composure. And as one clue leads to another, his respect for the overlooked woman with the quiet voice begins to deepen into something far more dangerous. ❤️ Yet when the Duke publicly stakes his own honor on Georgiana’s honesty, she gives him an answer he never expects: She already had an honor of her own.
