Love and Lies Under the Spires (Dreaming Spires Romantic Mysteries #4) Release Date: September 30, 2026

Coming Soon

Among the honey-stone cottages and tangled lanes of an Oxfordshire village, one woman is fighting to save the place she loves — and falling for the man who could take it all away . . .

Discover multi-million bestselling author Faith Martin, writing romantic mysteries as Maxine Barry.

When Keira Westcombe agrees to marry seventy-two-year-old billionaire Lucas Harwood, it’s in name only — his way of helping her save her beloved Oxfordshire nature reserve.

Then a stranger slips into the back of the church. Tall, dark, furious. He’s Lucas’s son, Fane. One look at him and Keira knows she has married the wrong Harwood.

Two months later, Lucas is dead. His will has vanished, his daughter is circling with lawyers and Fane is certain Keira knows more than she’s telling.

She doesn’t. But the proof is buried somewhere in the secrets Lucas left behind — if she and Fane can trust each other long enough to find it.

To save the reserve, Keira must find Lucas’s missing will and decide if she can risk her heart on the Harwood she was never supposed to fall for.

Perfect for readers who love tangled family secrets, mysteries unfolding in the heart of an English village and characters who fall for entirely the wrong man.

For fans of R.L. Killmore’s Cinnamon Falls Mysteries, Faith Martin, Nora Roberts, Catherine Cowles, Claire Kingsley, Elle Cosimano and Pretty Little Liars.

This book was previously published as Dear Enemy and An Oxford Enemy.
