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 façade. 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.
