This book is everything I love about historical romances. The romance is subtle but brimming with tension, woven into Victoria’s journey of defiance and discovery. The dynamic between her and Jane crackles with suspicion and reluctant trust, adding another layer of complexity to an already gripping story. I love how the book doesn’t just explore the mystery but also Victoria’s fierce determination to carve out her own destiny. It is a historical romance with a bite, a heroine with a mind sharper than any courtly scheme, and a story that keeps you utterly enthralled.

Review coming soon! Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.
