Second in an exciting new late Victorian series from RITA Award nominee Alissa Johnson
She's a liar.

She's a con.

She's a thief.

And God help him, but he'll do anything to keep

her safe.

Beautiful and conniving, maddening and

brilliant, Esther is everything private detective Samuel Brass shouldn't want.

Esther knows she's put herself in terrible danger, but nothing will stop her

from making amends-not her family's enemies, not old fears, and certainly not

the domineering, interfering, and undeniably handsome former officer of the

Scotland Yard. Yet whenever he's near, Samuel makes her long for a life that

can never be hers...and wish she were worthy of being saved.
