Jane Matthews has always known how to read damage — the way other people read words. So when a gown arrives at Clark’s Laundry with a two‑inch compression line hidden deep in the seam, she recognises it instantly.
Not sloppy. Not careless. Personal.
Someone understands her work with unsettling precision. Someone who knows her methods, her logic, the way she reinforces a bodice so it holds under movement. That knowledge did not originate in Bell Court.
As Jane studies the ruined gown under the lamp, another presence enters the workroom: Colin, the delivery manager whose quiet steadiness hides a talent for noticing far more than he says. He sees patterns everywhere — in routes, in ledgers, in people — and he sees the truth in Jane’s hands before she speaks it aloud.
The sabotage is deliberate. And it has only just begun.
Drawn together by circumstance and pressure, Jane and Colin must uncover who is targeting her work before the damage spreads further than anyone expects. But forced proximity has a way of revealing more than danger — and Bell Court has a way of noticing everything.
A slow‑burn Victorian mystery‑romance filled with tension, tenderness, and secrets stitched where no one should look.
I really enjoy the Bell Court this series is in. I can really imagine daily life there. Good story telling and slow burn romance.
