From Booklist
Lady Lydia Beaumont and Lord Hugh Montgomery share a scandalous past that has driven Lydia, disguised as a gentleman, to patrol the seediest sections of Victorian London in an attempt to rescue other women from the dangers they face as prostitutes. But after her husband's illegitimate daughter by an actress is kidnapped, Lydia must put aside the fear of exposure and the pain of betrayal to join forces with her own former lover, now a highly respected criminal investigator, to save the child. This second-chance-at-love story concentrates more on the evils of opium addiction and the sexual excesses of the dissolute nobility in 1880s England than on the character development and relationship-building Beard accomplished so masterfully in Duchess' Lover (2002), but her fans will welcome the reappearance in supporting roles of Clara and Todd Leach, now married and residing in London.
