The Swan Syndicate
The Swan Syndicate - Book One
A love story two hundred years in the making. A secret mission that could rip it apart.
Stella never loved as deeply for anyone as she did for Beckworth. But a niggling doubt can’t be ignored. There simply aren’t many opportunities in the twenty-first century for a nineteenth-century man.
Beckworth gave up everything to be with Stella. Not known to be a man of leisure, he knew it would be difficult to find a challenge in this new century. His skills, highly sought after in the 19th century, meant nothing in this new future.
When he plans a trip back to 1806 for a holiday hunting party, Stella can’t resist. Within an hour of their return, a secret mission is dangled in front of Beckworth. It’s a simple task—find the smuggler expected to be working against the English in their war with Napoleon.
Beckworth isn’t happy when Stella manipulates her way onto the mission. And when their seek-and-find pursuit turns into something more perilous, it tests the fragile bonds of their budding romance.
The Swan Detective - Book Two
London, 1806 — A city of elegance, opportunity, and hidden truths.
Stella Caldway’s return to London comes with some misgivings. Her last visit left her with bittersweet memories—some painful, some unforgettable. It was here she gave her heart to Viscount Theodore Beckworth… and nearly lost him forever.
Now, amidst the delights of the London Season—graceful garden parties, glittering balls, and high society intrigue—Stella is ready to embrace the future. But when a priceless necklace vanishes in plain sight during a lavish ball, she’s drawn into a mystery she can’t ignore. Driven by loyalty and a thirst for justice, Stella vows to uncover the truth—no matter how impossible the task may seem.
Beckworth, ever devoted, longs only to see Stella shine among the city’s finest. Yet the past refuses to stay quiet. The Crown’s spymaster, Hensley, once again seeks his help to identify a cunning new smuggler with ties to the infamous McDuff. The mission must remain secret, even from Stella.
In a city where reputations are everything and danger lurks in the unlikeliest places, trust becomes both a shield and a weapon. But one thing remains certain—in love and in life, Stella and Beckworth are strongest together. And when Stella is involved, even the best-laid plans rarely go as expected.
