Length7h 21m
About this audiobook
They told Oliver Davenport that the dead man fell.
One look at the bruises on the body's throat — finger-shaped, deep purple, almost black in the lantern light — told him the truth.
Henry Pavey was pushed.
Oliver is only a junior officer, a gentleman with a bad leg and a famous father, working murders that Inspector Graves would rather close quickly and close wrong.
In the fog of Victorian London, where gaslight turns the streets into a maze of shadow, Oliver has learned that the easy answer is almost always the lie.
But this case will cost him more than his reputation.
Because the deeper he digs, the closer it brings him to a woman in a deep green cloak.
A woman with wide, worried eyes.
A woman with secrets of her own.
The one person who seems to know what truly happened that night at Caledonian Mills.
He is a widower with a child asleep behind a single lamplit window, and a wedding ring he has never been able to take off.
She is a witness he should not trust and cannot stop thinking about.
Together they are the only two people willing to chase the truth into the parts of the city that respectable men pretend not to see.
But every step toward the killer is a step toward ruin — for his good name, for her safety, for the careful walls he built around a heart that never expected to feel anything again.
A locket he should never have taken.
A false confession that nearly buries an innocent.
A cell he is not certain he will walk out of.
And one impossible question.
Is justice worth everything he has left to lose?
He has spent years convincing himself he is only a junior officer, that the badge means nothing, that his heart was buried with his wife.
She is about to prove him wrong on every count.
If they want both the truth and each other, one of them will have to stop hiding first.
Beneath the Gaslight is an intimate, atmospheric Victorian romance about a slow-burning friends-to-lovers bond, a grieving single father, a dangerous murder mystery, secrets, sacrifice, and a heart that refuses to forget.
Perfect for readers who love Victorian romance, brooding detective heroes, slow-burn tension, gaslit murder mysteries, and a love story earned through fire. A standalone romance with a hard-won happy ending.
