Lord Alistair Bevan,
Viscount Farnham, is feeling the pressure of being the heir to his
ailing father's earldom now more than ever. He knows it is his duty to
marry and produce an heir, despite the fact that he's always been
different. Then he meets valet Joseph Logan by chance at a supper party
and his whole world is shaken.
Joe is only in London to search for his sister, Lily, who went inexplicably missing from the very house where he's gained employment. It seems other children have also disappeared, but months have passed and though Joe suspects his employer's involvement, he's no closer to finding any proof.
Joe & Alistair both seek help from an underground organization known as the Brotherhood and are drawn into a much larger investigation than they ever imagined. Since the family of Joe's employer is very close to Alistair's suspicious father, it seems this may be Alistair's chance to truly make his father proud, unless his relationship with Joe is exposed and leads to ruin for them both.
This book had just the right mix of emotional, unconventional romance and suspenseful mystery. This was fast-paced and held my attention, the characters were well-drawn and overall this was very well done. The ongoing mystery has me very much looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
