Sometimes getting away is the perfect way to find trouble.

Maiden Harlow was supposed to be enjoying a romantic getaway in Florida with David. Instead, after a case drives them apart, she arrives at her Aunt Bella’s elegant estate alone, hoping for some distance and a chance to clear her head.

She doesn’t get either.

When a priceless collection of jewels disappears under impossible circumstances, Maiden is pulled into a glittering world of wealth, deception, and carefully guarded secrets. An enigmatic jeweler seeks her help, a charming British bodyguard has motives of his own, and the wealthy families surrounding her seem determined to hide the truth.

Far from Golden Glen and without David by her side, Maiden must rely on her extraordinary memory and sharp instincts to uncover what others have missed. But every clue leads to more questions, revealing a world of betrayal, greed, and secrets that have been hidden for years.

Meanwhile, David is following a dangerous case of his own, and the distance between them forces them both to face truths they would rather avoid.

As Maiden searches for answers, she discovers that some mysteries are far older and more complicated than they first appear.

Faraway Kingdoms is the seventh novel in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a dark cozy mystery series featuring glamorous settings, clever clues, slow-burn romance, unforgettable characters, and twist-filled investigations.

Sometimes the secrets you uncover far from home are the ones that change everything.
