Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case - by Violet Marsh (Paperback)

About the Book

And to find him, she must rely on the help of his infuriating but incredibly attractive best friend. Although Alexander Lovett is always up for an adventure, he vows to keep his distance from Georgina, who is on his insufferable parents' list of suitable brides for a future duke. He's a grown man who can pick his own wife, thank you very much.

About the Author

Two-time Golden Heart finalist Violet Marsh is a lawyer who decided it was more fun to write witty banter than contractual terms. A romance enthusiast, she relishes the transformative power of love, especially when a seeming mismatch becomes the perfect pairing. Marsh also enjoys visiting the past--whether strolling through a castle's ruins, wandering around a stately manor, or researching her family genealogy online (where she discovered at least one alleged pirate, a female tavern owner, and several blacksmiths). She indulges in her love of history by writing period pieces filled with independent-minded women and men smart enough to fall for them. Marsh lives at home with Prince Handy (a guy who can fix things is definitely sexier than a mere charmer), a whirlwind (her daughter), and a suburban nesting dog (whose cuteness Marsh shamelessly uses to promote her books).
