Betty Fletcher bakes the best pies in the Cotswolds. She has also, at various points in her career, brought down two foreign intelligence networks, survived a double agent, and faked her own death. But none of that prepared her for this.

The Florist is coming for her.

The enemy she ran from. The reason she buried her name, her rank, and her entire life in a Cotswolds bakery. She’s here, in Bramblewick, and she’s done pretending. To flush Betty out of hiding, she does the one thing guaranteed to make her drop every cover she’s ever built.

She takes Major.

The flour comes off. The apron comes off. The smile comes off. And the woman underneath — the one Bramblewick has never seen — walks out the door.

Betty will use every skill she spent six years suppressing to get her dog back and end this, once and for all. She’ll call in old debts, break old rules, and remind certain people why Valkyrie was a codename worth fearing. But when the dust settles and the village has seen exactly who their favourite baker really is, will they lock their doors — or will they hand her the keys?

Major, for his part, would like everyone to know he had the situation under control the entire time.

For Your Pies Only is the fifth and final book in The Baker’s Spy Mysteries — the series finale where the baker finally drops the mask, and five books of secrets come out of the oven at once.

Contains: one extremely angry grandmother, one kidnapped dog (returned safely, we promise), five books of Cold War secrets finally detonating, a village that fights back, and absolutely no on-page violence (but a very satisfying ending).
