Housemaid meets Marquess!

The Confessions of a Lady (Queen’s Deadly Damsels #3) by Darcy McGuire

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 


Housemaid Penny Smith was trained in the school of hard knocks down in St Giles. She survived by fighting, claiming her own space, and “take no hostages” sorts of actions.

Which is exactly how her relationship with Lord William (Liam) Rehnquist seems to be going.

All she has to do is find letters that prove he’s a member of the Devils Son’s cohort.

Little does Penny know he works for the Queen. She’s under the impression that he’s linked to the fearful organisation. They’re working towards same ends but from different perspectives. 

Penny is working for Constable Sweet gathering information about the Devil’s Sons for the reward money promised by Commissioner Worthington, in a desperate bid to free her mother from prison. Harriet Smith has been held in prison under the Vagrancy Act of 1838.

The problem is for Penny is that Liam sees her, he really sees her, lowly maid that she is, and that’s dangerous for both of them.

And did I mention the most dangerous of all! The fact they can’t keep their hands off each other!

Intrigue leaps from the pages as Liam and Penny investigate their leads to a rather shocking conclusion.
