About this ebook

When Bronwyn Tremont, heiress to the well-known confectionery chain Sweet Paradise, decides to celebrate her wedding at the Black Feather pub, its landlady Nathalie suddenly finds herself responsible for organising the lavish event. Everything is going according to plan - until the bride vanishes without a trace! Shortly afterwards, a kidnapper demands a ransom running into the millions. Everyone is shocked, especially as paying it would mean the end of Sweet Paradise. Yet there is one person who could easily afford the money: the groom, who made his fortune as a digital entrepreneur. Strangely, however, he seems in no hurry to secure his bride’s release ...

About the series: Cottages, English roses and rolling hills: that’s Earlsraven. In the middle of it all: the "Black Feather”. Not only does young Nathalie Ames unexpectedly inherit this cosy inn from her aunt, she also falls heir to her aunt’s secret double life! She solved criminal cases together with her cook Louise, a former agent of the British Crown. And while Nathalie is still trying to warm up to the quirky villagers, she discovers that sleuthing runs in the family.
