Summary

The esteemed creator of Paddington Bear concocts another delicious escapade for Monsieur Pamplemousse and star sniffer dog Pommes Frites 
Monsieur Pamplemousse finds himself in deep water when an unfortunate collision with a Mother Superior is caught on camera by the French tabloids. To avoid media attention, he is sent to report on chef André Dulac, currently in line for Le Guide’s top award of the Golden Stock Pot Lid. 
But Pamplemousse's stay at the Hôtel Dulac is far from uneventful. His encounters with mysterious bloodstains, a strangely vibrating girl and a secret family legacy open a can of worms which threatens the very sanctity of France’s premier gastronomic bible . . .

    A young woman discovers her prim and proper betrothed is an enigmatic highwayman in this romantic mystery by a New York Times–bestselling author. 
     
    Ally Grayson never wanted to be a heroine—she dreamed of writing great stories, not living in a fairy tale. But when she’s abducted by a charming highwayman right out of a novel, Ally finds herself thoroughly enchanted. No matter that she’s betrothed to another—or that she has no intention of binding herself in an arranged marriage anyway. 
     
    But when Mark, her burdensome fiancé, is revealed to be none other than the rogue of her dreams, Ally must make a choice: plunge into a world of murder and deceit without a protector, or place her trust in the man who lies to her but makes her heart sing.
