Description de l’éditeur
A nosy duke's daughter and a sharp-eyed Bow Street Runner join forces to solve a rather peculiar crime.
Violet Garland may be a duke's daughter, but she has a strong streak of daredevil. What she wants most in life is adventure—and when she spots a Bow Street Runner among the ton, she knows she's finally found it. She'll help the investigator track down his villain, whether he wishes her to or not!
Bow Street Principal Officer Periander Wintersmith doesn't need any assistance, especially from a female as persistent and annoying as Lady Violet Garland. Although Lady Violet does possess a most uncommon talent and she is exceptionally good at following people…
Perhaps he ought to accept her offer of help? Together they might be able to unravel a rather perplexing mystery—and Perry may just avoid falling off any roofs.

I know I am not only three days late to provide my review, I am, in fact, a year and a half late.
I have had this book languishing on my shelves since its release day.
Why in fact I applied for the arc, to oblige too-busy-me to read it.
And I am glad I did.
I loved every minute spent reading this book, it was the perfect story to remind me why I loved this author, why when I read my first book from her “Unmasking Miss Appleby” I became obsessed with her work and read everything available at that time.
Since I lost myself in the bottomless well of arcs reading and left sadly behind some of the authors who reawakened my love for historical romance. Emily Larkin is one of those.
And while her stories have a paranormal side, they still follow society’s rules and conventions.
Violet is everything a ton Lady should never be, brazen, willful, determined, stubborn, and reckless. The gift she asked for on her 23rd birthday illustrates her wild character. She is no meek ton miss, she goes after what she wants and is not afraid to state and own it.
And while my memory might fail me, I do believe this is the first time the couple can enjoy and share a Baleful’s gift.
Which was part of the entertainment of Violet’s adventure. She has met someone who stands to her toes to toes, who disagrees with her but is also ready to jump into the void, trusting her to do the right thing.
Perry has learned to blend into the wall, when the world, he as had known it, has been shattered, he had to reshape himself into a new man, then only lose even more afterward, why he had to give himself the means to continue forward. To “create” his new family. So when he altered once more the course of his life to return to his birthplace, to only say goodbye to get the last piece holding him back to his past, he sees nothing there to make him want to stay. Even a gorgeous hotheaded demanding and kind of domineering lady. As while infuriating and entrancing him, he believes it is proof of how different their worlds are from one another.
From their common investigation to each learning to know the other for someone else than their first impressions, no, Perry is not bland nor forgettable as Violet is not flighty nor spoiled.
They are each other perfect balance as he quiets her recklessness and she adds spices to his routine.
