Synopsis

Danger and passion collide when a plucky young woman becomes embroiled in a Bow Street investigation alongside a handsome officer.   London, 1803   As the daughter of a renowned actress, Verity Travers is a privileged lady of high society—and the last woman one would suspect of working as a private investigator. But after one case nearly costs her everything, she makes the hard decision to hang up her hat and live the uninspiring life of a gentlewoman. However, when she and her dearest friend become victims of a harrowing armed robbery, Verity finds herself swept back into the clandestine world of mystery and crime as she seeks to bring the thief to justice. There’s just one complication: the persistent and dashingly handsome Bow Street Runner Nathaniel Denning, who always seems to cross her path.   Verity is confident she could accomplish her work quickly if only Nathaniel would stay out of her way. While she appreciates his keen mind and quick wit on a case, his interference is muddling her progress—and her heart. Focusing on the task at hand becomes more and more difficult as she constantly bumps into Nathaniel, who is determined to keep her out of danger.   When the two rival investigators learn they are both pursuing the same cunning criminal, they must figure out how to navigate the delicate dance of cooperation amid a backdrop of increasing peril and an irresistible passion that sets their hearts ablaze.

"A heart is a fragile thing without trust." I want a 5-star read, I come to Joanna Barker. It's just science at this point. Her books work for me, and I couldn't be more excited about it. I've been looking forward to Verity's story since meeting her in "A Heart Worth Stealing", and it did not disappoi......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (christianbooksandcoffee) on August 20, 2024

4.75 stars! What a great story! I just loved it! This is book 2 in the series. It definitely works as a standalone but there is a little bit of spoilers for book 1 so keep that in mind. In book one we get Jack Travers, in book two it’s his sister Verity Travers. And of course Bow Street Runner Nathan......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on September 05, 2024

What is it about Bow Street Runners that are so appealing? If Nathaniel represents the ideal, it's the sacrifice, work ethic, clever mind, and hunt for justice. He didn't have a chance at protecting his heart from Verity, falling for the same characteristics in her. They began as rivals of a sort, b......more

Goodreads review by Heather (fictionandfirelight) on July 08, 2024

Y’all, incase you weren’t aware, let me make a very important PSA: @joannabarker can do no wrong. Her books are always (always!) five stars for me. I was lucky enough to win an ARC of So True a Love at @abookish, and a couple of nights ago I figured I’d read a couple of chapters before bed. Well. A c......more
