About this series
This royal visit is going to off with a bang…
Edward, the Prince of Wales, is about to step foot on Kiwi soil and Grace is frantically finishing gowns for her wealthy clients to wear at the balls thrown in his honour. But then a horrible accident and a dying man's last moments, draws her into a conspiracy to harm the prince.
As Grace follows the strands of a last memory, she discovers there is a patchwork of conspirators all with grudges against England and the royal family. This plot has unravelled larger than her group of friends and if she's going to hem in the anarchists and save the prince, she needs help. There's only one person she can turn to…Detective Archer.
Can Grace discard her differences to confide in the policeman with their common goal of saving the prince, or will there be an explosive end to the royal visit?
