London, 1907. About teatime.

The Duke of Dalby is frantic.
His duchess’s carriage has returned without her – yet the footman and coachman insist she was safely aboard when they left Madame Fifi of Mayfair.

Where has she gone?
Was it an accident, a scandal... or something far more alarming?

When a troubling letter arrives, the duke must race against time to save his beloved wife – or lose her forever.

A light, spirited short story brushed with romantic comedy, mystery, and a dash of Edwardian mischief.

Have the butler pour your coffee, settle into a comfortable chair, and enjoy a charming trip to the past.
