Books like Royal flush by Rhys Bowen
Lady Georgiana, the 34th heir to the crown and famed penniless heiress, finds her summer house‑cleaning business sputtering. Desperate for cash, she offers her services as a dinner‑party and theatre companion. Her first client, however, is far from agreeable, and Georgiana is soon shipped home to Castle Rannoch to keep a scandal‑prone houseguest from influencing the Prince of Wales. While juggling the demands of royal protocol, a fraught sister‑in‑law, and a complacent brother, she is also recruited by Scotland Yard for a hush‑up mission—to monitor a shooting party at Balmoral and thwart a plot to strike the Prince. As Georgiana navigates court intrigue, family drama and a hidden gun, the stakes rise in a tale of royal danger and relentless ambition.
