When Flora arrives in Eureka Springs hoping to finally land husband number five—and save her family estate—she's convinced her unlucky streak is behind her, despite her notorious reputation as "Fatal Flora." Enter Lucas, a dogged Pinkerton detective who's absolutely certain Flora is tangled up with the slippery thief he's been chasing, making their first meeting delightfully antagonistic. As Lucas investigates, he discovers there's far more to Flora than her scandalous past, and what starts as suspicion slowly transforms into something neither of them expected. This charming historical romance perfectly blends mystery, adventure, and faith-filled heart with two people learning that sometimes the greatest blessings come from the most unexpected circumstances.

“Create a playlist called Flora's Wish. Gentle Victorian romance with hopeful determination and sweet yearning. Think acoustic folk, soft piano ballads, and vintage-tinged indie. Wistful yet resilient—like autumn light through old windows, tender second chances, and quiet courage.”
