Known as the Monk of Bow Street for his celibacy following his wife's death, Ross is fair and forgiving, which Sophia soon learns when she takes up a position as his office clerk and housekeeper. Handsome Ross Cannon, London's most powerful and irreproachable magistrate, is not the hard-hearted devil she had expected, however. Ever since her younger brother died in prison, Sophia Sydney has had one goal in mind-to find the magistrate who sent her brother to prison, worm her way into his office and his heart and then destroy him both politically and emotionally. Political, social and familial conflicts heat up this story, and not all of the resolutions come easily. Against the grit and glamour of London's crime-fighting Bow Street operation, Kleypas weaves an exceptional early-Victorian-era romance that is driven by much more than mere sexual attraction and sizzling loves scenes (of which there are plenty here).
