'The rare author who can make you laugh and cry - on the same page'
JULIA QUINN, bestselling author of the Bridgerton novels
London, 1880. An exceptional female economist meets an undercover detective.
Thrown together by their work, soon it's not just their ambitions on the line, it's also their hearts . . .
Brilliant economist Reina Martin has spent her life defying people's expectations. As the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish immigrant mother and an English banker, she knows exactly what life is like for society's outcasts. That's why she's hired a household staff of paroled prisoners - to give them a chance to remake their lives, and come together as a found family.
With the help of her mentor, the aristocratic William Farlow, Reina pursues her dream of building to build the first all-women's bank, where women will be finally able to manage their own money and take control of their futures.
But soon Reina is shocked to learn that her enigmatic and handsome butler, John Pembroke, is actually an undercover police detective. He's investigating Farlow for vast financial fraud - and Reina, by association, is at risk of losing everything she's fought for.
When John asks for her help with a high-stakes heist to obtain incriminating evidence, Reina faces an agonizing choice: either betray the beloved mentor she's always trusted, or turn her back on the thousands whose lives are at stake. As she and John search for the truth, they're swept up in a passionate love that neither of them ever dared to dream of.
From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas comes a sweeping Victorian novel about a trailblazing female economist who's determined to succeed in business . . . and in love.
