Petroc Trengrouse has come home from Waterloo missing his right leg. Family friend Lady Beatrice Marlowe has been thrown out of her home on the deaths of her father and brother.
When Petroc comes to stay at Beatrice’s mother’s seaside house to recover from his wounds, he has no idea that he’s causing severe financial problems.
He feels he’s not fit to marry; she knows she’s too poor to attract an aristocratic suitor. Will the Trengrouse Ball prove both of them wrong?

I write Regency stories because I love them. I decided to get serious about writing these when my Regency novella, A Generous Heart, won the RWA Ruby Award (maybe the universe was sending me a message). I came late to writing in this genre, and for many years before that I wrote for children as Pamela Freeman and mystery novels plus early 20th Century novels as Pamela Hart. I started out in the Regency writing romances. Now I’m bringing my mystery writing together with a thread of romance in a Regency murder mystery which will be out in 2026. A classic country house mystery set in 1814: Bridgerton meets Agatha Christie, you might say!
Elizabeth Leydin was my great-grandmother, and I have her dressing table in my bedroom. Elizabeth is my second name, and it was my mother’s middle name too; a family tradition. My plan was to name any daughter I had Elizabeth, but I had a son, so the name was free for me to use when I decided to write Regencies.
Why the Regency for both mystery and romance? Well, when I first started reading adult books, my wonderful local librarian steered me towards Agatha Christie and Georgette Heyer. I loved them both, and it’s so much fun bringing those two genres together!
