DESCRIPTION:
"A Contemporary Historical Romance" according to Jude Fenton. Beatrice is reserved and somewhat methodical in her personal and professional lives. Joshua is rather analytical and detail oriented. Those qualities can be dull and boring for some, but not these two. They are complicated. The author keeps the reader on his/her toes as this couple’s path to trust and love isn’t obvious.

The second Ladies of Lantern Street novel from Amanda Quick explores the crimes, passions and paranormal secrets of Victorian London.Under the plain gray skirts of Miss Beatrice Lockwood’s gown, a pistol waits at the ready. For Beatrice is a paid companion on a secret mission—and with a secret past—and she must be prepared to fight for her life at any moment.Yet she is thrown oddly off guard by the fierce-looking man who joins her in foiling a crime outside a fancy ball—and then disappears into the shadows, leaving only his card. Guilty or not, she is his guide to a trail of blood and blackmail, mesmerism and madness—a path that will lead both of them into the clutches of a killer who calls himself the Bone Man.. The quest to discover her whereabouts has pulled him away from his mournful impulses to hurl himself into the sea—and engaged his curiosity about the real Beatrice Lockwood, whose spirit, he suspects, is not as delicate as her face and figure.He does know one thing, though: This flame-haired beauty was present the night Roland Fleming died at the Academy of the O
