The Disgraced Debutante

2023

From USA Today and Amazon bestselling author Wendy Vella comes a stunning new historical romance featuring a jaded debutante and an arrogant, blue-blooded detective. With a touch of mystery and plenty of heart, this book will have you hooked from the opening page. Ruined in the eyes of society, and forced out of the only world they’d ever known, the Nightingale siblings vow to never be victims again. They will build their new life on what they’d once ignored. Being a clairvoyant is an excellent survival skill. A power she’s always denied… It’s been four years since Ellen Nightingale fled society and the only life she had ever known. Forced to survive on her wits, Ellen is no longer the pampered debutante she’d once been. She has also accepted what she’d always denied. The ability to see what can happen before it occurs. Becoming the lead suspect in a murder investigation thrusts her back into the public eye once more, and the arrogant, handsome Detective Inspector Fletcher wants her charged for a crime she did not commit. Ellen must fight her growing attraction for the man to find the killer, but to do that, she must re-enter a world she vowed to never step foot in again. A murder that needs to be solved…. From the moment Detective Inspector Grayson Fletcher steps foot over the Nightingale threshold, the cool beauty Ellen intrigues him. Haughty and secretive, she’s the first name on his suspect list when a body turns up in the local bookstore. Despite his desire for the woman, Gray’s duty is to find justice for the victim, and all clues lead directly to Ellen. Conflicted by his sister’s unsolved murder and the vow he made to never allow a killer to walk free again, he must follow his head and not his heart. Can Grayson and Ellen fight both their desires and those that would destroy them to find their destiny? Books in The Notorious Nightingales Series The Disgraced Debutante An Imperfect Gentleman
