An invitation to work in the Buckingham Palace kitchens provides the aspiring young chef with everything she has always wanted—a way out of the limitations of her existence as a servant. Bella can take flight in the stranger's place.
Arriving from Yorkshire as Helen Barton, she follows her passion for cooking and serves the pleased Queen Victoria. The best part is that she has been selected to travel to Nice with the queen. How fortunate! until a member of the queen's entourage passes away from illness and the threat of blackmail follows Bella to the Riviera.
Bella is thought to have committed the deadly murder as she cooked the royal guest's final lunch. Investigations are certain to come. Her deception will end. And if it doesn't send her to the gallows, her new life will collapse.
