A Gentleman of Mystery
(2021)(The eighth book in the Bluestocking Scandals series)
A novel by Ellie St. Clair
There are only three things Bow Street runner Georgina Jenkins knows about the man she pulls out of the Thames. His name, his lack of memory, and the fact that he’s in trouble.
As the only female detective, Georgie lives by two rules -- to seek justice where warranted and to never be swayed by emotion. Unable to turn away from anyone who needs her help, she must solve the mystery of the handsome stranger affected with amnesia. The more she learns about him, however, the more she becomes certain that he must belong to the world of lords and ladies that have caused her so much pain.
He may not remember anything about himself except the name engraved on the medallion upon his chest, but Leo does know one thing -- he is in trouble. When he opens his eyes to his saviour, he is instantly captivated, and begs her to keep his presence secret. She reluctantly agrees, and Leo finds himself growing ever more attracted to the woman who is keeping him safe.
Georgie and Leo cannot deny their feelings for each other, but know nothing can come of them until the honorable Leo determines whether he is promised to another. He is afraid, however, that once he regains access to his memories, he might realize he was better off without them. For all they seem to do is to put him and those he loves in continued danger -- a danger that even Georgie might not be able to fight. Especially not when she learns the truth.
Is love between two people who have no right to be together enough to overcome honor, pride, and, most importantly, the past?
This Regency romance contains some steamy content.
