Although Abigail has little connection with the lady in question, she expects to be under suspicion. Abigailâs skin color and her motherâs notorious past have earned her a certain reputation among the ton, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it.

Taking the reins of her life in a way she never has before, Abby intends to find outâbut she may uncover more danger than she ever imagined . . .
