A lord found murdered in London's most infamous brothel. A debutante with a scandalous bloodline. And a killer whose true weapon isn't the blade—but secrets that some would kill to keep buried.

When Miss Evelina Tarot's fiancé is discovered dead in a notorious pleasure house, she finds an unlikely protector in William, Lord Bellingham. His investigation reveals a truth that changes everything: Evelina is the daughter of Madame Chambon, London's most infamous brothel keeper.

William, now hopelessly in love with Evelina, is determined to keep her past hidden. He enlists Lily, Lady Bradden—whose employment bureau serves as sanctuary for society's fallen women—in a desperate race against time.

But as bodies pile up and danger closes in, a chilling question haunts them: why is the killer so fixated on Evelina's death rather than simply exposing her scandalous heritage?

The answer lies in a darkness more perilous than either could have foreseen...

The seductive new historical mystery that will leave you breathless...
