Gabriella Goodhue had put her past as a thief behind her, until a woman in her boardinghouse is unjustly accused and she is caught gathering evidence by Nicholas Quinn, a fellow street urchin against whom she holds a grudge. Nicholas refuses to lose her twice and insists they join forces-but their feelings are tested when danger follows their every step.
This was a fun change from the normal Regency romance. Both of the main characters were not born into high society, and it was refreshing to have a different point of view. It was also interesting to consider how society didn't take women seriously and that there was a need for an investigation agency made up of women so that someone would actually listen to them and help them. This was my first time reading anything by Jen Turano. I loved how she weaved humor, mystery and romance into a very engaging story.
