About
A passionate Victorian romance about learning to love again…
1882. When Violet Latimer steps off the train in Paris, she instantly feels at home. Here she can escape her scandalous origins in the rookery of Seven Dials and finally make a name for herself as a painter. But it's not long before her past catches up with her. The notorious gangster Archie Neville is fresh out of prison and determined to make her his wife – and catch whoever put him away in the first place.
Returning to London, Violet calls on her high society friends for help and soon finds herself in the capable hands of undercover detective Mr John Barrow. A man from her side of the tracks – and dangerously handsome too – John is determined to bring down Archie's gang from the inside. But he's the last person Violet should fall in love with now, not with both their lives on the line.
Can Violet resist her desire for John long enough to escape Archie's clutches? And will London society ever truly accept a woman with her past? Or will Violet finally find the happy ending she truly deserves?
With irresistible charm and an unforgettable heroine, A Brush with Scandal will delight historical romance readers and fans of Lisa Kleypas, Minerva Spencer and Julia Quinn's Bridgerton.
