Publisher Description
Do you want to build a nobleman?
Once upon a December, best friends Caroline and Estelle brave the cold English winter and build a snowman in the woods. Caroline playfully shapes him into her ideal suitor, narrating all the qualities a man would require to catch her attention. Later that day, a stranger knocks on the door: Lord Snowdon, a dashing gentleman dressed in blue and white, bearing an invitation to the family’s holiday festivities. The next day, Caroline walks back to where she built her snowman…only to discover that it’s gone!
Is it Christmas magic at work, or is something less innocent going on? As guests gather for dinners, parties, and more, Caroline senses that Lord Snowdon is not exactly what he seems, and more than one guest has a hidden agenda. When vital documents are stolen from the house, it’s crystal clear that someone is up to no good. Stealing kisses under the mistletoe is one thing, stealing government secrets is quite another! If it’s Snowdon, it means a cold end to her Christmas wishes. Can Caroline uncover the plot threatening to ruin the holiday joy and keep her heart from breaking?
Lady in Ruby is a whimsical, wintry novella set in the Secrets of the Zodiac world of Regency-era spies. You can read this story as a standalone, or at any time while you go through the rest of the series!

Building a Snowman
Caroline had been busy assisting her father in his chemistry lab. When Caroline and Estelle built a snowman, they didn’t expect it to come to life, and run away. When Lord Snowdon, someone she didn’t know, arrived at the house party, Caroline had a moment when she thought he might be that snowman come to life. Why is the handsome lord here? Several odd incidents in the house pose a mystery. There is more to Snowdon than it seems. He is on a mission from the Home Office, but what does he seek? What is the crime and who is the villain? There is a slow steady attraction building between Snowdon and Caroline. This is a story filled with intrigue, danger, and romance. Snowdon and Caroline are intelligent, capable people who are perfect for each other. A lovely addition to the Zodiac series.
