Wren Jones Damsels and Dinosaurs

The Fletcher family honey business teeters on the brink of bankruptcy as shipments from their eccentric matriarch's farm grow scarce. But Poppy refuses to let her family become destitute and she will do anything to get to the bottom of the mystery. However, on her aunt's strange island, Poppy finds more questions than answers. The bees defy expectations, the farm is full of ancient creatures, and her aunt's secrets run deeper than she originally suspected. Meanwhile, her imminent arranged marriage to the heir of a prominent tea company, Giuseppe, jeopardizes her investigation. Their meddling families are relentless in making the marriage a swift reality - even if that means sending Giuseppe and Poppy's grumpy ex, Athena, to retrieve her. Athena knows the reunion will be awkward, and getting the stubborn Poppy to do anything will be difficult, but she can't resist the promise of the island. If she can win over Poppy's mysterious aunt, she might finally get the opportunity to pursue her dreams. Giuseppe just wants to draw, drink tea, and avoid all the drama. But he supposes he must go along too. It is his future wife, after all. On an island where the scandals are bigger than the dinosaurs, a group of Regency aristocrats search for their second chances and rewrite history as we know it.
