England in the 1780s. Henrietta is illegitimate, born to an aristocratic father and a courtesan. From the moment she draws breath, she is fated to live in the shadows of her cousin, the manipulative Lady Catherine. But when Henrietta meets Lord Allenham, her sisterly relationship with Lady Catherine turns into rivalry. Set during a period of revolution and turmoil, this is the first book in a trilogy about Henrietta Lightfoot, a young woman who was abandoned as a baby and raised alongside her cousins, noble children of a lord and lady. At just 16 years old, circumstance and a passionate love affair tear Henrietta away from everything she knows, leading to a new life fending for herself on the streets of 18th century London as a courtesan, gambler, and spirited intellect of the city.
