“I really loved this book—in fact, I couldn't put it down. It's a
fabulous feast of a story that plunges you into the Victorian era
with all its levels and complications — into the art world and
among aristocrats and slum-dwellers. There's tension, adventure,
derring-do, a fight against corruption on several levels, a rich
cast of characters and a hero and heroine to admire and cheer for.
All in all, a rich and heartwarming historical romance. Highly
recommended.”

intense on-page evolution of the love story...those looking for a
happy-ever-after for complex and passionate characters will be very
satisfied here. A new voice in historical romance that will
keep readers riveted."
