When Miss Evelina Tarot's fiancé is discovered murdered in London's most notorious pleasure house, William, Lord Bellingham becomes her unexpected champion.
Then William uncovers a shocking truth: Evelina is the daughter of infamous brothel keeper Madame Chambon.
Desperate to bury the scandal that would destroy any chance of a future with the woman he's come to love, he joins forces with Lily, Lady Bradden—whose employment bureau offers sanctuary to fallen women.
But as they race to unmask the killer, a terrifying question emerges: why is the murderer more intent on seeing Evelina dead than exposing her connection to Madame Chambon?
