Dare she risk her secrets?
In the world of upstairs/downstairs, Housemaid Penny Smith anticipates her employer's needs and blends into the background making her the perfect spy for the prime minister against a suspected member of the Devil's Sons. There's only one problem. When she meets the guilty marquess, his actions don't match the evidence against him. Lord William Renquist defies her every expectation and sets her traitorous heart racing.
Lord William Renquist, Marquess of Stoneway and secret spy to Queen Victoria, must infiltrate the Devil's Sons, tearing the brotherhood apart from the inside. His mission - to bring evil men to justice while atoning for the sins of his family, proving honour is stronger than tainted blood. There's only one problem. A canny maid who is always in the right place at the wrong time and who deliciously challenges his every order.
Liam and Penny are unknowingly playing a dangerous game from opposite sides of justice. And at a masked ball, forbidden attraction burns into something far more complex as their secrets spin into daring confessions. This battle against their enemy will only be won if Penny and Liam can work together. But can a maid from downstairs ever trust an upstairs marquess?
