The River Knows
Amanda Quick
The first kiss occurred in a dimly-lit hallway on the upper floor of
Elwin Hastings's grand house. Louisa never saw it coming ...Of course,
Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The
kiss was an act of desperation, meant to distract the armed guard about
to catch the pair in a place they did not belong. After all, Louisa
Bryce is no man's idea of an alluring female in her dull maroon gown and
gold-rimmed spectacles. The only thing the two interlopers have in
common is a passionate interest in the private affairs of Mr. Hastings -
a prominent member of Victorian Society whom they both suspect of
hiding terrible secrets. Each has a reason for the quest. Anthony's
fiancee was said to have thrown herself into the Thames - but Anthony
has his own suspicions. Louisa - whose own identity is shrouded in
layers of mystery - is convinced Hastings has a connection to a
notorious brothel. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more
perilous than either anticipates - and their hasty partnership will be
more heated than either expects.
