Dottie Brown, young and naïve, is duped by a charming swindler. A year after the wedding, she learns he’s not what he pretends to be. Watching him on the gallows, she vows never to be taken in by romantic notions again. Yet fate tosses two obstacles in her path that day—a handsome physician and an abandoned child.
A chance encounter reveals one woman’s secret, another man’s revenge, and a love that will change their lives forever.
Set in the hectic district of Cheapside during the Regency, Paddy’s Peelers search the dregs of London with skill and cunning to uncover political plots, bring criminals to justice, and perhaps unexpectedly find love along the way. A sweet but action-packed romance.
