Synopsis

Before Josephine Brown began working as a blade expert for Farnham's Fantastical Female Fayre, she'd never stayed put for long. She'd never had friends, either. Nor had she allowed herself to open her heart to a man. Yet now, as part owner of the circus, she's suddenly forming real friendships. And then there is her attraction to clever, handsome Honorable Elliot Wingate—whose life she happened to save. After forever fleeing her past, the last man she should choose is one who ferrets out secrets on behalf of King and Country . . .

Elliot was fascinated by Jo "Blade" Brown even before he witnessed her lethal gifts, firsthand. He's never met a woman who is such an intoxicating combination of self-sufficiency, beauty, and mystery. He's never been in love before, but there is no denying he's fallen hard. Yet each time Elliot tries to get closer to Jo, she slips farther away. If he reveals what's in his heart, will he risk driving her away for good?

As their investigation—and her feelings for Elliot—stir up Jo's deeply buried, extremely dangerous secrets, she'll have to decide whether to run once again, or trust somebody at last . . .

Contains mature themes.

4 Stars! Interesting and entertaining book! This is the 3rd book in ‘The Wicked Women of Whitechapel’ series and can be read as a standalone for the most part. The beginning might be a bit of a head scratcher if you haven’t read the previous books. I read book 2 and this book and I was still a bit c......more

Goodreads review by Gloria on March 03, 2024

An interesting story with a lot of loose threads, “loose” as in close to unraveling. I understood what was happening in France, but not why. The whole “Paris” episode from 1814 seemed to be significant to Jo but all that was ever said was that it would be disavowed by some admiral or another. Why di......more
