What an awful title for a lovely and well-written story. Eleanor Watkins has traveled to London to avenge her sister's abuse at the hands of an evil aristocrat. However, she's being followed by Scotland Yard Inspector James Swindler, who, as a young orphan, spent time on the streets supporting himself as a thief. There's an immediate attraction between Eleanor and James once they meet, but they both have hidden motives for spending time together. Unexpected twists kept me reading when I should have been cleaning the house, and the characters' surprising emotional depth only added to my enjoyment. I'm looking forward to reading more by this author. 372 pages.
