4 stars
I couldn't put it down and read in one sitting – always a good sign
I don't want to give anything away – but if historical romance is your genre – you will love the story of Thomas and Lucia
Highly recommend
5 stars
This is the third book in the series, whilst it could easily be read on its own the three stories do gel together very well & the epilogue rounds the series off very well. I’d been waiting for Tom’s story & it didn't disappoint…All in all a lovely romance that had me captivated

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Capping off the Regency-era London Underground trilogy, Leigh matches roguish yet chivalrous Thomas O'Connell, the new Duke of Northfield, with ambitious, spirited Lucia Marini, the new manager of the forbidden Orchid Club, in a sexy, scandalous tale. After the two spend a year admiring each other, they agree to have one night together, because Tom feels he can't return to the club now that he has a ducal title. When Tom discovers the club is part of his inheritance, he's shocked. If anyone finds out his staunch, deeply traditional father owned such a disreputable business, the damage to his family's reputation would be unbearable. Lucia's dream of founding a girls' home depends on her wages, so Tom agrees to keep the club open, and their hearts open to each other as well but their future is threatened by a coldhearted politician who wants to destroy Tom's family. Complex characters, witty exchanges, a little blackmail, and a lot of loyalty and love make this a fantastic ending to a sensational series.
