Sophia is a naive young woman who went to London to become a courtesan in order to feed her family and to get away from Lord Devars. She sees the Hero the Duke of Caradon (Cary) from across the ballroom and is instantly attracted. Cary sees her later and saves her from a brute who was handling her roughly. This is the start of their romance and each falls for the other while trying to save each other. Cary is haunted by his past and is trying to move on and Sophia decides she is the woman to help him through it.

The romance in this book was good and believable the ending is sweet and summed up nicely no loose ends. The mystery was interesting and had great potential but there was something about the writing in this book that sounded immature or something I cant put my finger on it though. I have read many books by this author and loved them so I have to think it is just the book itself. I will definitely read the next book in the series and more by this author.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
