A Perilous Proposal (The Rebecca Orange Castle Cozy Mystery Series Book 5)
By Valerie Brandy
Murder, matrimony, and mayhem— just another week in Monrovia.
When a royal wedding rolls into town, exotic animal trainer turned amateur sleuth Rebecca Orange thinks the biggest danger she’ll face is bumping into the Duke’s impossibly perfect ex-fiancée. But when a glamorous pop star is found dead on the Royal Investigators’ office rug— sequins and all— Rebecca and her ever-faithful (and frequently gassy) Tibetan Mastiff, Joe, find themselves at the center of a very high-profile murder case.
To solve it, they’ll have to team up (again) with the village’s most reluctant ally— Officer Basilier, who may or may not be considering using her stun gun for fun this time. With the help of castle-whisperer Maggie, a baffling trail of break-ins, and a bridal party hiding more secrets than lace appliqués, Rebecca must navigate aristocratic exes, historical conspiracies, and the unspoken etiquette of pre-wedding brunches… all while figuring out if she really belongs in a Duke’s world.
Because in Monrovia, love might be in the air— but so is poison.
Perfect for fans of royal gossip, clever mysteries, and slow-burn romance with a castle-sized serving of whimsy.
