Lady Charlotte Fayne founded her Society of Angels—an elite group of female detectives—to help women in danger. But now, she can't outrun her own past. When her latest investigation dredges up buried secrets, the life she's built begins to unravel. And the greatest threat? The husband she thought was long dead.
As dangerous enemies close in, Charlie must choose: pursue a safe new love or surrender to the man who once broke her heart... and who could do so again. One wrong move could spell ruin for her, her Angels, and even the Crown itself.
In this deadly game of cat and mouse, Charlie's choice will determine whether her mission succeeds...or becomes her last.
