Secrets and Sin
Narrated in duet by Shane East and Zara Hampton-Brown
The second novel in the Bow Street Wallflowers trilogy.
A woman with secrets…
Having had her trust shaken once before, Miss Maria Roberts refuses to rely on a man to secure her future. Hoping for more out of life, she joins her friends as runners for Bow Street, and is eager for her first case.
A man under pressure to protect those he cares for…
Jasper Sinclair, the Duke of Derby is being taunted by his cousin like a cat toys with its meal, and despite his efforts, he can’t seem to find the man to stop him. The more time that passes, the more menacing his cousin becomes, and he needs help.
The threat continues…
With peril in constant pursuit, they must learn to work together to find the duke’s cousin before it’s too late. Will they be able to put the past behind them in time to save themselves and find love?
Content Warnings: Death (both accidental, and not-so accidental), poisoning, swearing, violence (particularly hand-to-hand combat and the use of daggers and pistols), biting (not for pleasure), abusive family members, death of an animal (death not on-page, but the remains are), threats, discussions on death, fire (arson), explicit sex, sex without a condom (without pregnancy).
Things to also keep in mind:
* One of the side characters has Tourette Syndrome. Tourette’s was only first described/named in 1885. So, at the time this book takes place, people displaying signs/symptoms of Tourette’s were either hidden by the family or put in a place like Bethlem Royal Hospital. For that reason, there is conflict between Maria and their parents.
As a mom to three kids with Tourette’s, I am a staunch advocate for folks with this neurological disorder.
* One of my protagonists is nonbinary. And while countless nonbinary people existed in the early 1800s, there weren’t the more modern descriptive words we have today with which people might explain their feelings. I’ve done my best with Maria, and hope I’ve done their character justice. Maria’s pronouns throughout are she/her, but I imagine if they were around today, they would prefer they/them, with frequent uses of he/her, depending on what their heart said that day.
