Romance Historical
When Will Jones, ex-spy, ex-Bow Street Runner, rescues a virgin from Archibald Marchβs notorious London brothel, he does not expect her to resist his gallantry or escape his protection, but the tall beauty he knows only as Helen of Troy has a desperate plan of her own. She believes Marchβs brothel conceals secret documents connecting her mother to a group of radicals plotting against the government. In the second of the βSons of Sinβ trilogy, Will Jones forms a most unlikely partnership with Helen as he works to recover his missing brother from Londonβs dark underworld. Through Helen Will uncovers a plot to assassinate the members of the British cabinet in the aftermath of old King Georgeβs death while the former Prince Regent lies ill and unready to lead his country. In this dark time Will and Helen discover the secrets of a well-guarded brothel and a slum school that trains boys to be criminals. Will puts up barriers to all who know him; heβs a realist who knows Londonβs darkest secrets; heβs a man with a past, conscious of his sins and failings. He has no business with a proper beauty from the highest rung of society, even if sheβs masquerading as the most famous wanton in history. But he canβt resist Helenβs spunky wit, her courage, or her beauty. He lets her into the secret world heβs made for himself in Londonβs darkest corner, a fantastic apartment in the old style of Tudor London, hidden in a disreputable district of brothels and pawn shops. Will and Helen's story is a classic match up of "bad boy" hero and "good girl" heroine. He teaches her all the best ways to be wicked, and she reminds him that goodness and love are within his grasp after all.
