A serious clergyman whose brothers die, leaving him an unexpected duke . . .
A woman who is making her way as a Bow Street runner . . .
An investigation that leads them to the truth-and each other . . .
Jasper Lincoln is happy tending to his congregation when news arrives of his brother's death in battle. Jasper's father, ailing for several months, slips away, unable to bear the news. And on that same night, Jasper's brother, Lord Sutton, drunkenly falls down the stairs, dying instantly, making Jasper a sudden duke. He harbors lingering suspicions about these two deaths and seeks help at Bow Street.
Orphan Shelby Slade grew up on the cruel streets of London, surviving as a pickpocket until being rescued by Mr. Franklin, head of the Bow Street runners. Shelby finds her purpose, becoming the only female agent at Bow Street. She is assigned to the Duke of Edgehaven's case and fights the growing attraction she feels for the solemn clergyman-turned-duke.
As her inquiry proceeds, Shelby believes the previous duke was poisoned with arsenic and that the new duke's niece, who has suddenly turned mute, may have witnessed her own father's murder. Together, with Edgehaven's help, she searches for answers, wanting to uncover the truth regarding both deaths.
Will Shelby's investigation lead to discovering the killer's identity-and will she live long enough to claim happiness with Jasper?
