The Rosewater Debutante: Adelaide Becket, #2
()
About this ebook
Adele learns just how ruthless German agents can be.
In Edwardian England, Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, continues her work for William Melville, spymaster, even though it has left her with no time to live the life she would prefer, which includes spending at least a little time with Daniel Bannister.
When she refuses to travel to Germany to watch over King Edward while he visits the German Emperor to discuss disarmament of their increasingly more competitive navies, Melville gives Adele an alternative, superficial task of watching over a young, sweet debutante, Lady Winnifred.
Adele perseveres with the useless, quite horrid task of trailing an innocent girl through the Season. It puts her in the path of German agents, who demonstrate just how dark and dangerous her new work really is…
This novelette is the second in the Adelaide Becket Edwardian espionage series.
1: The Requisite Courage
2: The Rosewater Debutante
…and more to come.
A historical suspense espionage novelette.

The Story So Far…
If you have not yet read the first story, The Requisite Courage, this summary will reveal spoilers!
Lady Adelaide Azalea Margaret de Morville, Mrs. Hugh Becket, lived in the Cape Colony with her commoner husband for eight years and during that time learned to speak fluent German. Adele was widowed in a tragic accident and returned to London in early 1906.
William Melville, a former Scotland Yard senior official and now a shadowy figure in the British government, approaches Adele and requests she help him uncover a German conspiracy to assassinate King Edward during a weekend houseparty at Balmoral. He provides her with a handgun which is too big and heavy for her, although she does know how to shoot.
Adele agrees to help with reluctance, for she does not feel she has the requisite skills or courage for such work. Former friends among the peerage refuse to speak to her,
