An Artful Decision
Lady Guinevere Nowlton, known as Gwinnie, possesses a talent for the violin and a heart dedicated to helping women from the stews of London. Though the daughter of a duke, at eight-and-twenty, she considers herself on the shelf. She doesn’t think any man in society wants a large-boned woman for a wife who stands eye-to-eye, if not taller than her husband! She long ago tucked away dreams of love as she focused on concerts and her charity work at Mrs. Southerlands’ House for Unfortunate Women.
Concealing her noble heritage behind the name Sarah Knolls, Gwinnie enjoys the freedom to cross class lines and befriend many people, including Mr. Lewis Martin, a Bow Street agent.
But when she stumbles upon the lifeless body of Mrs. Southerland, the lines between her worlds blur. Who would want to harm Mrs. Southerland?
Gwinnie and Mr. Martin delve into Mrs. Southerland’s life to uncover the motive behind her murder. The mystery draws them into a web of secrets and intrigue. As they race to unravel the murder, an undeniable attraction blossoms between them, and though they fight against it, their desires become near impossible to ignore.
Can a duke’s daughter and a Bow Street agent defy society’s constraints and find a way to happiness amidst the shadow of a murder investigation?

Hi, I’m Holly, lover of words and history. I write Regency historical novels with humor, romance, and a smidge of mystery. I also dabble in writing in other eras, but the Regency keeps pulling me back.

Me and Writing
When I was in ninth grade my English teacher gently informed me I didn’t have the talent to write, not like some of my classmates did. Boom! Teenage angst. That was it. I stopped writing stories.
Okay, I read it . . . And Liked it!
In this time of covid-19, I am reading a lot, primarily historical mysteries and cozy mysteries. I’ve read science fiction and fantasy in the past, I just haven’t been in the mood for that genre lately. Anyway, I finished my last cozy mystery. My SO pounced on the knowledge I was done with a book and urged me to pick up the books he was reading. They were free through Kindle Unlimited. My eyes glazed over, but I agreed and started book one.
