Living as a governess in Edinburgh, Marianne has spent three years hiding from her traumatic past. The private investigator who has been searching for and surveilling her for six weeks hopes to bring her good news about an unexpected inheritance, but it’s clear that she is too haunted to trust anyone, a feeling he can relate to. Though they try to keep their distance, their lives become irreversibly entangled.
VERDICT Kaye (His Runaway Marchioness Returns) presents a sexy Victorian romance about secret identities and sordid pasts. In-depth detail about the era’s law enforcement and asylums, paired with alternating first-person perspectives, yield an absorbing reading experience.
