Hoyt's second Maiden Lane novel (after 2010's Wicked Intentions),
set in 1737 London, initially seems to follow the formula of the naive
virgin falling prey to the profligate rake. But Lady Hero Batten is quick-
witted and forthright, and she refuses to be just another conquest for
Griffin Remmington, her fiance's younger brother. When Griffin insists on
accompanying Hero to the orphanage she funds in the dangerous St. Giles
area of London, Hero finds him an affable and attractive companion. Their
relationship changes as Hero learns that Griffin isn't merely the
irresponsible younger son he has pretended to be, and Griffin struggles
to meet Hero's high expectations. Fans of historical detail will love
subplots involving the campaign to halt the production of gin and the
overwhelming need for decent orphanages, and the mysterious happenings
in St. Giles provide excitement and suspense.
