Books like Lace for a Lady by Eileen Ramsay
After her brother’s death in the Napoleonic wars, Lydia Carpenter struggles to keep her family’s estate afloat. With her father absent and financial aid dwindling, she partners with a groom to revive a local smuggling operation. The venture succeeds, drawing suspicion from Lord Pittenmuir, the magistrate who once wounded Lydia’s heart. Complications deepen when he discovers a French spy lurking among The Arbroath Ladies. In a twist, Pittenmuir adopts disguise to infiltrate the smugglers, only to unmask Lydia as the ring’s enigmatic leader—and possibly the spy herself. The story follows their tangled loyalties and dangerous secrets against Scotland’s rugged cliffs.
