A Victorian historical mystery set in 1897 London, introducing a sharp-witted countess and a reformed thief-taker drawn into a high-society murder filled with wit, intrigue, and slow-burn romance.
Tabitha, the young, widowed Countess of Pembroke, has already been cast out by polite society. At only twenty-two, she is expected to live quietly, keep her head bowed, and accept whatever comes next.
What comes next is Wolf.
With no son to inherit, the title passes to Jeremy Wolfson Chesterton, a dashing distant cousin with a troubling reputation and a past tangled in London’s underworld. Now the new Earl of Pembroke, Wolf, should be settling into Mayfair respectability, but shadowy figures from his former life refuse to let him go.
When danger presses in from both sides of the social divide, Tabitha must decide how far she is willing to step beyond her gilded cage. And if she follows Wolf into the darker corners of Victorian London, can she protect her fragile standing and her heart, while the two of them uncover the secrets someone is desperate to keep buried?
