A Wicked Conceit by Anna Lee Huber - Kiera and Gage are trying to enjoy some reprieve from solving mysteries as they await the birth of their first child. But a scandalous novel and a play based on it have taken Edinburgh by storm, and unfortunately the subject matter leads to gossip and speculation about Kiera herself. Despite their efforts to ignore the tittle-tattle and let it run its course, they are compelled to try to find the mysterious author when Bonnie Brock Kincaid steps in. The novel is about Bonnie Brock, spreading rumors and half-truths about his criminal enterprises and his true parentage, and hinting that he is actually the father of Kiera's child.

Bonnie Brock comes to the Gages and demands that they find the author or he will, and he leaves the threat of what he will do hanging. In an effort to stop a rumored sequel from being published, the Gages visit the publisher and follow several leads. Things take a turn when the publisher is found murdered in his office, and the Gages are among the suspects.

Against a backdrop of family drama between Kiera and her sister Alana, and revealed family secrets, Kiera and Gage are in a race against time to find the author and figure out his motivation before Bonnie Brock can take his own revenge. When a breakthrough in the case finally comes, it may be too late, as Kiera and Gage are unprepared for the final attack, and Kiera is dangerously close to her delivery date.
