About the Book

Two friends reunite and discover hidden feelings while investigating a murder in this sensual, witty historical romance--perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore and Netflix's Bridgerton! Jane Halliwell once dreamed of a home of her own--but those dreams (and her dowry) died with her father. Now, she works as a governess, preparing her charge for a future no longer within her reach. When her employer is murdered during a house party, however, Jane is forced back into the world of the ton. But stepping in as hostess will require working with the same lord who once broke her girlish heart. Lord Adrian Fielding was too consumed with his job at the Foreign Office to pay young Jane much heed, but he always considered her a friend. Which is why he's confounded by her icy demeanor now. More troubling still is his desire to melt the tensions between them. But his mentor's murder means he must first find the culprit--and ensure Jane's safety as she manages a house full of foreign dignitaries. Only Jane insists on joining the investigation, and Adrian, despite all his diplomatic skills, finds himself seduced by her sharp wit and sparkling eyes. But with a vicious killer circling ever closer, will it soon be too late for their chance at forever?

About the Author :
Manda Collins grew up on a combination of Nancy Drew books and Jane Austen novels, and her own brand of historical romantic suspense is the result. A former academic librarian, she holds master's degrees in English and Library & Information Studies. Her novel Duke with Benefits was named a Kirkus Best Romance of 2017. She lives on the Gulf Coast with a squirrel-fighting cat and more books than are strictly necessary.

Review :
"Collins creatively fashions another beguiling historical romance."--Booklist "A fast-paced, run romp."--Library Journal "[Manda] Collins is a delight! I read A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem waaay past my bedtime, absorbed by its spot-on period detail, the well-crafted characters, and of course the intriguing mystery. Brava!"--Elizabeth Hoyt, New York Times bestselling author "A delectable mystery that reads like Victorian Moonlighting (with a good heaping of Nancy Drew's gumption). Collins writes with a brisk whimsy, her diverting characters popping off the page . . . adroitly threading the needle of her darkly amusing sense of humor, genuine suspense, and a deep sense of connection. . . . A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem is wickedly smart, so engrossing it'd be a crime not to read it immediately."--Entertainment Weekly on A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem, A- "Another fetching mix of sprightly wit, nimble plotting, and engaging characters that is certain to endear her to fans of historical romances and cozier historical mysteries."--Booklist on An Heiress's Guide to Deception and Desire "Collins keeps the heat smoldering between the well-drawn main characters in this installment, and the mystery keeps the pace moving nicely . . . [for] fans of Julia Quinn and Evie Dunmore." --Library Journal on A Spinster's Guide to Danger and Dukes "Compelling, evenly paced, and delightfully fun." --Kirkus on A Spinster's Guide to Danger and Dukes "Mystery, romance and an indomitable heroine make for a brisk, compelling read."--Madeline Hunter, New York Times bestselling author "Smartly plotted, superbly executed, and splendidly witty."--Booklist on A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem "The mystery drives the action while the romance provides the heartbeat of the story, and the two weave together to create a well-plotted, entertaining tale for fans of both genres. Expectations and prejudice based on class and gender are scrutinized throughout, while the leads are witty, fierce, bighearted, and easy to love. . . . A successful and thoroughly enjoyable mix of mystery and romance." --Kirkus on An Heiress's Guide to Deception and Desire "The mystery unfolds effortlessly, delivering a slew of suspects, tantalizing clues, and danger around every corner without ever overshadowing the love story. This sensual romance will have pages flying." --Publisher's Weekly on A Spinster's Guide to Danger and Dukes "When I pick up a Manda Collins book, I know I'm in for a treat."--Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author "With wicked smart dialogue and incredibly strong characters, Manda Collins reminds me why I love historical romance so much. Witty, intelligent, and hard to put down, you'll love A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem."--Rachel Van Dyken, #1 New York Times bestselling author
