About this audiobook
In glittering Regency London, beauty is currency, reputation is everything, and the most dangerous men are welcomed into the finest rooms.
When Lady Evelina Hart is left with her father’s crushing debts, a threatened family name, and a chilling warning about a missing ledger, she has no choice but to step back into a society that would sooner admire a woman than save her. Somewhere beneath London’s chandeliers and carefully polished piety lies an account book capable of exposing a network of blackmail, corruption, and betrayal powerful enough to ruin families, topple reputations, and destroy anyone who dares bring it to light.
Lucian Vale is the last man she should trust.
Dark, formidable, and devastatingly self-possessed, Lucian rose from nothing to become one of the most powerful men in England—and one of the most feared. He has every reason to hunt the same secrets Evelina is desperate to uncover, and none to risk himself for a desperate lady with scandal gathering at her heel
