About this ebook
London 1668. When young aristocrat Sir William Howe is found dead in the charred shell of a burned-out brothel in St Giles, his devastated lover Marisa, the proprietress, fears she will be framed for his murder. Desperate for help, she turns to her love rival, the courtesan Lady Castlemaine, for help.
But Lady Castlemaine has her own secrets. As the King's mistress she wields power and influence, but both teeter on a knife edge. If the King ever knew she'd betrayed him with Sir William, all she holds dear would disappear overnight.
As London simmers and sparks with unrest and violence starts spilling onto the streets, these two women must decide whether to work together and survive, or try their chances alone...
