Erica Vetsch: A Scheming in Parliament, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"A journey of dark deeds versus good deeds, filled with hope and humor. Danger and rescue scenes keep the pages turning, while a slow-burn romance promises more to come." --Julie Klassen , author of The Seaside Homecoming

Evil is masquerading in the halls of Parliament, and Sir Bertrand Thorndike is tasked with investigating from the inside. With his new position as a member of the House of Commons, he has access to the power brokers of English government. His tactic is to listen and learn, careful not to reveal his true motives, and he's quickly inducted into the mysterious Theban Club.

Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?

Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.

"This story brims with intrigue, danger, and memorable characters, and is sure to please any Regency lover." --Michelle Griep , Christy Award-winning author of Of Gold and Shadows
