Sophia Sydney enters the household of magistrate Sir Ross Cannon intending to punish him for the sentence imposed on her brother. Working as his housekeeper brings her close to the disciplined man behind his public reputation, while new evidence complicates both her plan for revenge and her understanding of the past.
The story uses Bow Street’s combined judicial and investigative functions to frame a romance about crime, punishment and official discretion. It also shows how domestic employment could bring women into intimate proximity with powerful households without granting them equal authority.
