Jack, be nimble. Jack, be quick.
Tossed into a life of shame and poverty after the death of her secret fianc, Ginevra Allen struggles to make ends meet on the terrifying streets of 1888 London. Her exceptional skill with the violin soon gains her a name as a performer, and before she realizes it, she has been swept back into the aristocratic world that abandoned her. But Old Jacky has his eye on her now...
Faced with a danger more real than anything she ever could have imagined, Ginevra is forced to accept the aid of a man she'd sooner forget, the brother of her late fianc-The Viscount Gainsbury. Lord Gainsbury has not forgotten Ginevra, and his ardent pursuit leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew. Did her fianc really go down with his ship at sea? Or was there something altogether more nefarious at work?
With lies and secrets on every side, Ginevra must fight to uncover the truth, even if it means that she ends up digging her own grave.
