Sure, based on the original title The Lady Has a Past, a refined and simplified version while retaining the essence could be: *Her Past Unveiled**

In this electrifying novel by New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick, beauty and glamour collide with deception and revenge. Investigative apprentice Lyra Brazier, the newest resident of Burning Cove, is unsettled when her boss, Raina Kirk, suddenly disappears. Determined to uncover what happened to Raina, Lyra tracks down her last known appearance at an exclusive hotel and health spa.

The health spa, known for its luxurious offerings and prestigious clientele, provides the perfect cover for Lyra's undercover investigation. Despite her lack of investigative experience, Lyra's gut instinct tells her that something is amiss. To her dismay, she is saddled with a partner by Raina's dangerous lover, Luther Pell, who wants to bring in someone with more experience to assist in the search.

Instead of the suave, pistol-packing private eye Lyra expected, her partner turns out to be Simon Cage, a mild-mannered antiquarian book dealer with a quiet, academic air and a cool, remote gaze. Lyra senses that Simon is much more than he appears, and her instincts are confirmed when they arrive at the spa and pose as a couple: Simon possesses a unique gift that allows him to detect secrets, a skill that proves crucial in their quest to find Raina.

The unlikely duo delves into a rabbit hole of twisted rumors and missing socialites, only to discover that the health spa is a façade for something far darker than they could have imagined. With a murderer in their midst, Raina is not the only one in grave danger – Lyra's life is also at risk.

As they navigate the treacherous waters of the investigation, Lyra and Simon must rely on their instincts and each other to uncover the truth and put a stop to the sinister forces at play. The stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are dire, but the two must work together to outsmart the deception and bring the perpetrators to justice.
