A destination wedding. A luxury hotel. A death that was never supposed to happen.
When Lady Adams arrives at the legendary Cypress Hotel for her cousin's seaside wedding, she expects champagne, family chaos, and ocean views - not a body at the bottom of the cliffs. The police rule it an accident. Lady isn't convinced.
As the wedding week unfolds, cracks begin to show beneath the hotel's flawless fa ade. A powerful political family, a resort built on privacy and discretion, and a series of unsettling coincidences suggest someone is determined to keep the truth buried. With help from an observant ex-military groomsman who understands danger better than most - and friends who have a talent for trouble - Lady starts asking questions no one wants answered.
But in a place where reputation is everything, curiosity can be dangerous.
Set against a glamorous seaside wedding, The Cypress is a cozy mystery filled with sharp dialogue, found family, slow-burn romantic tension, and twists that prove some secrets are worth killing for.
