    About this ebook

    Coerced into marrying a man she does not love, the stunningly beautiful Claire St. Martin discovers, weeks after the ceremony, that the man she spent her wedding night with was a stand-in, a surrogate for the man with whom she had that day exchanged wedding vows. Feeling her life now lies in tatters, she flees luxurious Silverwood House, escaping to a place where the destitute of Victorian London struggle to survive– Whitechapel.

    Shortly before the nuptials and unbeknownst to Claire, her fiancé Bennett Kirkwood and his best friend Braxton Kane were blackmailed by a Machiavellian fiend, Mordock Peckworthy, a man bent on revenge. Reluctantly participating in the despicable and archaic practice of Prima Nocta, it is Braxton Kane who suffers remorse over the deed, not her husband Ben. Wracked with guilt, he searches and, with incredible luck, finds Claire, who has secured employment for herself as a servant in an agency that supplies temporary domestic help to the upper classes of London society.

    D. L. Robinson

    D.L. Robinson is most passionate about writing, followed closely by a love of history, adventure, and romance. She has been married to her high school sweetheart and best friend for many years–traveling the world together and laughing as often as possible–even in those moments when life presents itself as being distinctly 'unfunny'. She has researched her family's British ancestry as well as her husband's multi-faceted European background, finding the time to sign up for mini-courses as a 'mature' student to learn more about the lives and scandals of the European and Russian monarchies. She is the author of Banish the Dragon and Oh Wicked Escort and is currently working on her third novel, A Conspiracy of Mothers. She and her husband enjoy spending time with their children, grandchildren and close friends, always ready to hand round a plate of home-made cookies and a cup of tea to their treasured guests.

      “Do you think she will like me?” The question slipped from between my lips and hung suspended in the air. My gloved hands were in my lap, and I was wringing them. As the carriage conveyed us and we neared my new husband’s ancestral home, Ashby Hall,
