A Stranger at Castonbury: Book 8 McCabe, Amanda

Castonbury Park is in chaos. The estate is drowning in debt, the family is fracturing, and now a Spanish woman has appeared claiming to be the widow of the heir everyone thought died at Waterloo. Enter Catalina Moreno — beautiful, grieving, and possibly lying. She says she married Jamie Montague in secret before the battle. She says she's carrying proof of their union. But no one at Castonbury believes her, least of all Jamie's younger brother Alec, who's convinced she's a fortune hunter. As Alec digs into Catalina's story, the tension between them shifts from suspicion to something far more dangerous. Amanda McCabe's eighth Castonbury Park novel is pure Regency intrigue — Spanish war secrets, family inheritance drama, and two people who shouldn't want each other but absolutely do. For fans of closed-door historical romance with actual stakes and a heroine who won't apologize for showing up.
