London is refreshingly scandalous in this wonderfully fun and charming novel narrated by 'Rosalyn Landor'. In the late 1800's, after her father's death and penniless, Gwen Ellsworth wanted to marry her childhood friend Colin but he couldn't afford a dowry. So she agreed to an arranged marriage with Lord Benedict who was a member of Parliament. After the wedding, when he told her that a governess position had just opened, she was thrilled to get out from under his thumb. Life at Ashby Hall couldn't be better until a series of unfortunate events began to follow them around.

The novel played out against the backdrop of Victorian London and tells the story of two sisters from different social backgrounds. While the younger sister, Emily, was forced to marry well beneath her station when her father's financial ruin made it imperative that she marry for money and security, Serena married a man who cared for nothing but himself. And so their paths cross as tragedy befalls them both and neither can escape it on their own.
