Book
Worth Any Price
First published 2003
Nick Gentry, once a feared figure in London’s underworld and now compelled to serve as a Bow Street Runner, is ordered to locate runaway bride Charlotte Howard. He discovers that returning her would place her under the control of a dangerous man, and an audacious marriage bargain changes the investigation into a fight for her freedom.
The novel closes the series by joining criminal London to the semi-official policing of Bow Street. Forced marriage, private pursuit and uneven access to justice provide the historical pressures behind its romantic and suspense plots.
