The Bone Lace by Eleanor Vane is available for pre-order

The Bone Lace, the third book in Eleanor Vane’s The Thornfield Inheritance, is now available for pre-order and releases on December 20, 2026.

London, 1666. Lilias Pell may keep her dead husband’s goldsmith’s shop only as long as she never marries again. She has a second secret too: jewels sing to her. When a bone-lace collar for a lady of the Queen’s household rings like a cracked bell in her hands, the trail leads to a Lombard Street banker, to forged letters sending innocent courtiers to the Tower, and to Tobias Hale, a cipher clerk who has been hiding his own forbidden letters in her parcels. By September they have the proof. Then a bakery in Pudding Lane catches fire.

Forbidden love, a widow’s second chance and secrets on both sides. Each book in the series has its own couple and a happy ending, so The Bone Lace can be read on its own.
