What’s this?
Her fate lies with one of two brothers, but whether it’s the murdered or the murderer, only she can decide. Camilla Verne has secured the match of the season with her engagement to Valentin Steinbauer, the Duke of Anhalt. But there are disturbing rumours about her betrothed which she can’t ignore.
The delights of the Frost Fair come to London in 1814, and Camilla crosses paths with Finley Renwick, a storyteller struggling to make ends meet. They get off on the wrong foot, and Finley twists the rumours about Valentin into a story of murder and betrayal.
But Finley is no ordinary performer. He is a gifted word weaver, who has the power to spin ghost stories into life. The ghost of Valentin’s brother slips through the veil, and he has come for revenge. When the ghost reveals his brother’s darkest secret, Camilla, once so excited about her upcoming wedding, is now determined to ruin it.

She has a first-class degree in Creative Writing from De Montfort University, and it was during this degree that she fell in love with indie publishing and bashed out a very, very, rough draft of The Phantom’s Bride.
