When Miss Charlotte Radley arrives on his doorstep, claiming she needs help from the Lords of Night Street, Viscount Needly is intrigued. She lives in one of the most notorious parts of London and runs a halfway house for ladies of the night, yet her speech and manner tell him she is a lady. Determined to uncover the truth about his mysterious new client, Marcus’s investigations find that not only is Charlotte more than she seems—she’s also in grave danger. But instead of listening to his warnings, the headstrong Charlotte continues to throw herself into trouble on behalf of her girls, giving no thought to her own well-being. When she is abducted, Marcus has no choice but to go after her. He knows that it’s no longer just her safety involved—his own survival would be in question if he lost the one woman who had given his life meaning.
