The story follows Lady Petra Forsyth, who announces she will never remarry after her fianc\u00e9 dies just weeks before their wedding. Being a woman of independent means, she sees no reason to give up her freedom. Instead, she plans to enjoy the best of society on her own terms.<\/p>\n

Message from the Author:
\nCeleste Connally shared that she was inspired to write this book during the pandemic. She noticed in period dramas that unmarried women were often portrayed as pitiable. She wanted to create a heroine who values her independence and challenges societal norms, leading to the creation of Lady Petra Forsyth.<\/p>\n
Lady Petra is the daughter of the Fifth Earl of Holbrook, an accomplished equestrienne, and a woman with her own fortune. After her fianc\u00e9’s death three years ago, she decided to live life on her own terms. When a friend\u2019s suspicious death leads her to a mysterious physician, Petra\u2019s investigation begins.<\/p>\n
Connally drew inspiration from characters like Emma Woodhouse and Lady Edith from Downton Abbey, who are independent and capable. She hopes readers will enjoy Petra’s first adventure.<\/p>\n
