USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell pits a fiercely
independent beauty against a devilish investigator.
Set apart by her ethereal beauty and fearless demeanor, Ophelia Killoran
has always been a mystery to those around her--and a woman they
underestimated. No one would guess that she spends her nights protecting
the street urchins of St. Giles. Ophelia knows what horrors these
children face. As a young girl, she faced those horrors herself, and she
would have died...if not for the orphan boy who saved her life.
A notorious investigator, Connor Steele never expected to encounter
Ophelia Killoran on his latest case. It has been years since he
sacrificed himself for her. Now, she hires orphans from the street to
work in her brother's gaming hell. But where does she find the
children...and what are her intentions?
Ophelia and Connor are at odds. After all, Connor now serves the
nobility, and that is a class of people Ophelia knows firsthand not to
trust. But if they can set aside their misgivings and work together,
they may discover that their purposes--and their hearts--are perfectly
aligned.
