Former FBI agent Kendra Donovans attempts to return to the twenty-first century have failed, leaving her stuck at Aldridge Castle in 1815. And her problems have just begun: in London, the Duke of Aldridges nephew Alec?Kendras confidante and lover?has come under suspicion for murdering his former mistress, Lady Dover, who was found viciously stabbed with a stiletto, her face carved up in a bizarre and brutal way. Lady Dover had plenty of secrets, and her past wasnt quite what shed made it out to be. Nor is it entirely in the past?which becomes frighteningly clear when a crime lord emerges from Londons seamy underbelly to threaten Alec. Joining forces with Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must navigate the treacherous nineteenth century while she picks through the strands of Lady Dovers life. As the noose tightens around Alecs neck, Kendra will do anything to save him, including following every twist and turn through Londons glittering ballrooms, where deception is the norm?and any attempt to uncover the truth might lead to murder.
