The False Lady (Under the Shadow of the Marquess)

In London, traders of innocents have grown brazen, abducting young women from streets and carriages to sell to the highest bidder.

Once the favored son of a Duke, his bastard-status now relegates him to operate undercover on the fringe of society, saving stolen girls from London’s brothels. How much easier would his task be if bewitching socialite, Madelina Greydrake, a young woman far above his station, hadn’t stolen his attention?In a society built on gossip and class, Madelina and Jasper will realize the secrets they seek to protect could well be the very things that destroy them.
