SYNOPSIS
To solve a mystery that’s become the talk of the ton, no clues run too deep for willful reporter Verity Lovelace. Not even in the sewers of London. That’s precisely where she finds happily self-sufficient scavenger Malcom North, lost heir to the Earl of Maxwell. Now that Verity’s made him front-page news, what will he make of her?
Kidnapped as a child, with no memories of his well-heeled past, Malcom prefers the grimy spoils of the culverts to the gilded riches of society. Damn the feisty beauty who exposed the contented tosher to a parade of fortune-hunting matchmakers. How to keep them at bay? Verity must pretend to be his wife. She owes him.
The intimacy of this necessary arrangement—Verity and Malcom thrust together in close quarters—soon sparks an irresistible heat. But when the charade ends, the danger begins. Will love be enough to protect them from a treacherous plot devised to ruin them?
I really liked this book. The author has written a story that caught you in from the beginning and that particularly kept me reading every chance I had free.
Verity and Malcolm are strong, determined people who have survived and struggled to move forward despite the problems and injustices they face. After being robbed of his family and everything that was rightfully his, Malcolm grows up in the sewers and forms a kingdom where his word is obeyed at all time or suffer consequences, but when someone discovers that he is an earl and the rightful heir to the title his life changes radically, not only because he doesn't want that noble life, but also because in his quest to keep her job as a reporter, Verity will go down into the sewers in search of the count and his story, and that's when Malcolm and Verity's paths will cross changing their life’s forever.
With a very well elaborated and sustained story the author takes us through the life of these characters, their sorrows and misfortunes where we will witness the injustices and betrayals, but also the friendship and love that they will live through the book.
I have enjoyed reading and I am looking forward to reading the next part of this series. I hope we have Livvie's book because I think she is a beautiful character who deserves her own story.
I received an ARC on exchange for my honest review.
