Hidden Riches

Lily-Anne Cole has never quite fit in—not among the other maids, and certainly not in the drawing rooms of the ton. After unexpectedly inheriting an estate, she’s still struggling to find her place. When a wild intruder bursts into her home her only help comes from a striking stable groom she barely knows…but has little reason to question.

A maid-turned-heiress. A fixer masquerading as a groom. But on the hunt for stolen diamonds, they may just find something even more precious.

Timothy Hastings has made a career rescuing the nobility from their own disasters–quietly, discreetly, and for a handsome fee. Hired to recover a stash of stolen diamonds hidden somewhere on Lily’s property, he expects a quick job. Instead, a disastrous start forces him to pose as a groom, placing him far too close to the very woman he’s meant to deceive.

But the more time they spend together, the more undeniable their connection becomes—even as Lily senses he’s hiding something. When she uncovers his lies, her trust shatters… just as real danger closes in.

Now Lily and Tim must risk an uneasy partnership to survive the search. And as the stakes rise, they’ll discover the hardest choice isn’t between truth and deception—but between protecting their hearts or surrendering them completely.
