{"strong"=>[" London, 1886"]}
For Lady Julia Grey, her husband’s sudden death at a dinner party is extremely inconvenient, not to mention an unpardonable social gaffe. Once the shock has passed, however, things take rather a turn for the worse. Her eccentric relations descend en masse (and her odious Aunt Ursula clearly intends to stay until another relative expires elsewhere), and Julia is forced to drape the mirrors in crepe and herself in endless widow’s black.
But when swarthy, inscrutable private investigator Nicholas Brisbane tells her that her husband’s death may not have been due to natural causes, Lady Julia finds herself thrust into surroundings she could never have imagined, from the elegant home of a renowned courtesan, to a volatile boxing match in a gypsy camp.
As the truth begins to emerge, Julia discovers that she has much to learn; about her husband, herself and the infuriating, mysterious and very attractive, Mr Brisbane…
{"em"=>[" Set in the extravagant surroundings of upper-class Victorian England, and introducing the compelling, charismatic Lady Julia Grey this is a must read!"]}

Quotes

    me, he was anathema. His stupid prejudices, his blindness, his thoughtless dismissal of me as a mere woman … he represented everything I hated most in an Englishman. Narrow, biased, unfeeling and snobbish.
  • emeraldfleurhas quoted4 years ago
    He treated me like an elder brother might treat a younger sister, with indulgence sometimes, with breathtaking rudeness at others.
