The Madman's Dangerous Delusion (Gravesyde Village Mystery #4)
Patricia Rice
From bestselling author Patricia Rice comes a gripping Regency romantic mystery filled with danger, secrets, and slow-burning romance.
Recently widowed Kate Morgan struggles to support her children as a seamstress in Gravesyde Village. With her unbalanced brother-in-law claiming her home and land, Kate fears she’ll lose everything—including her children’s future. She needs protection… but never expected it to come in the form of a scarred, surly soldier.
Sergeant Major Fletch Ferguson, battle-worn and bitter, has returned from war with no interest in saving anyone. He wants peace, solitude, and his clock repair business—not complications. But when Kate’s deranged relation turns violent, Fletch’s fighting instincts surge back to life, leaving him injured, Kate shaken, and a madman on the loose.
When a woman who resembles Kate dies under suspicious circumstances, Fletch is convinced the danger is far from over. He insists on moving into Kate’s home to protect her and her children—an arrangement that sparks tension, trust, and unexpected desire. As a series of alarming “accidents” and deaths ripple through the village seamstresses, Kate and Fletch realize they’re facing a mystery more sinister than madness.
Is one dangerous mind behind the escalating terror—or is Gravesyde hiding a killer in plain sight?
With lives at stake and time running out, Kate and Fletch must confront the truth before Gravesyde Village claims another victim… and they lose any chance at love.
✨ Perfect for fans of Regency romance, historical mysteries, gothic suspense, and protective heroes.
“Wonderful, fun, gothic… with quirky characters and a heartwarming romance. Pure entertainment.”
— Anne Gracie, bestselling author of The Heiress’s Daughter
