Rose Cottage: Shimla, 1802
From the moment Emerald boarded the ship to India, she knew she was in for an exciting journey. Having never journeyed abroad before, she simply could not wait to see what these mystical lands had in store for her. She felt as though this would be the greatest adventure of her life. And it was. Little did she know, the true adventure had nothing to do with magic, snakes or elephants as her mother believed it would. No; the greatest, most wonderful adventure in Miss Emerald Dawson’s life was waiting for her in the seemingly inconsequential town of Shimla, in the form of a mysterious royal who liked to frequent the local library. What started as brief eye contact in a crowd soon grew into a connection that would forever change both of their lives. However, Miss Dawson could not help but ask herself: is it proper? Can a love between a sheltered young woman from London and a Maharaja truly survive? Emerald had no way to find out except experience it for herself. What had she gotten herself into? She didn’t know. All she knew was that she certainly never wanted to get out of it.
Love & Motorcars: The Mystery of Moss House
Two years after resolving a mysterious disappearance, Miss Manorma Guhathakurta thought her career as a self-proclaimed amateur sleuth over. One day, she, along with the entire populace of the town of Limley, receives an invitation from a new local resident to attend a ball at his dwelling: a certain Moss House. Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first, until the festivities take a turn for the sinister, with Moss House becoming the scene of a shocking crime. Predictably, the curious and quick-witted Manorma takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of things. Her quest to do so will certainly not be a cakewalk, however, as her private life soon gets in the way, making it increasingly clear to her that the course of true love never did run smooth. With both her heart and the town once again in chaos, it would seem that Manorma would have to defy all odds in order to restore peace to both. Although seemingly an impossible task, she had done so before. Who was to say she couldn’t do it again?
Love & Motorcars
Miss Manorma Guhathakurta always found her life remarkably easy. After all, she had a doting father, an abundance of wealth and a high-end education abroad. Everything thus seemed set for her, until a new acquaintance entered her life, quickly becoming something far more to her. As if this wasn’t enough unfamiliar territory to traverse, a friend of hers mysteriously vanishes in a motorcar one night. This turn of events perplexes her greatly, and eventually leads to her meeting a brand new someone who captures her attention in an altogether new way. Between her heart being pulled in two different directions and a potentially sinister crime afoot, Manorma finds herself overwhelmed with confusion. Can she discover the secret behind the disappearance as well as sort out the affairs of her heart? Well, she most certainly can try, although the results may lead to unexpected outcomes. In the words of her father, she was “always a little reckless”.
