Set in the hectic district of Cheapside during the Regency, Paddy’s Peelers search the dregs of London with skill and cunning to uncover political plots, bring criminals to justice, and perhaps unexpectedly find love along the way. A sweet but action-packed romance.

Angus Marshall, respected barrister and prosecutor for sensitive Home Office cases, is also the by-blow of an earl. When his father marries for love, he tries to convince Angus to court his new stepdaughter, the lovely Miss Caroline Grove. The first meeting creates sparks—but not the romantic kind. Then a mystery lures them together, revealing secrets neither of them expect and a slow-burn attraction that takes them both by surprise.
