Haunted by her friend’s sudden disappearance and desperate for answers, Miss Victoria Trent is determined to journey to London in search of the truth. 

 

Edward Stanthorpe, the Earl of Chesterfield, gallantly extends his escort to Miss Trent, never dreaming that lurking perils will drag him into London’s most insalubrious backstreets. Yet the greatest shock of all comes from Miss Trent herself—a seemingly naive vicar’s daughter whose formidable talents rival those of the most seasoned gentlemen he knows.

 

Harnessing her hunting prowess and intelligence, Victoria Trent relentlessly tracks down the culprit behind Lucy Wallace’s demise. Joined by the Earl and a steadfast circle of allies, she will stop at nothing to expose the truth.

 

As her feelings for Chesterfield deepen, Victoria must rely on her own instincts and refuse to let her growing affections blur her judgement. But when the killer closes in and threatens far more than their tenuous alliance, Victoria realises that the price of her pursuit may be their very lives.
