  1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. 
   
   
   
  Caitrin Colline—a Welsh coalminer's daughter and an ardent socialist—will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin's bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector's social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain's aristocracy. 
   
   
   
  Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted—even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance.

  🍰 Quilt shop owner and fabric stack specialist Lily Layer is hosting a layer cake cutting party when the shop's most competitive customer—a notorious quilt show champion—is found dead in her store, crushed under a toppled tower of layer cake stacks. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Lily notices the fabric stacks have been deliberately unbalanced and the victim's quilt contest entries contain suspiciously similar patterns to other quilters' work. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community divided, Lily must peel back the layers of this fabric-filled mystery. Assisted by her cutting crew and the handsome textile analyst examining print patterns, Lily uncovers a scheme involving pattern plagiarism, stolen quilt designs, and a sophisticated operation copying award-winning quilts. From suspicious print rotations that reveal intentional mirroring to color placements that match other quilters' work too closely, every stacked layer tells a story. But when Lily discovers the victim was systematically entering copied quilts in competitions under different names, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the national quilt competition approaching and the real copycat still stacking deception, Lily must sort through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently layered under suspicion.
