About this ebook
Bestselling author Jane Feather brings to life the glamour, sophistication, and intrigue of Regency-era London in this captivating novel of unexpected passions and dangerous secrets.
Pooling their meager resources, Lady Cornelia Dagenham, her sister-in-law Aurelia, and their friend Liv Lacey arrive in London's Cavendish Square to spend a month at the home Liv has just inherited. But why anyone would show a fervent interest in purchasing the rundown property -- particularly the arrogant Viscount Bonham, who clearly could afford the finest of homes -- is a puzzle to Cornelia. His charms are undeniable, though -- and Cornelia finds her resistance to this mysterious stranger falling away...as a sparking passion clouds her view.
But their affair may place her and her friends in danger as Harry Bonham sweeps her into the sparkling whirl of high society. Leading a double life as a code breaker for the Crown, Harry is a man of many secrets. Is it Cornelia whom he truly desires, or something hidden in the house on Cavendish Square?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I cannot decide just how I feel about this book. I struggled to finish the novel, but I felt too invested and interested to give up and yet bored at the same time. I rather like the women in the book for the unconventional attitudes toward life and society -- there are lots of little risque things going on. The OTP was sort of odd, though. I like both people, I like them together, and yet I'm just not sure I cared about a) the mystery going on or b) the fact that they were going to end up together. Such a mixed feeling. I'll try the next book simply because I still like the other two women and I'm not sure the problem was me or the book.
