The Scarlet Pimpernel meets Carnival Row in Book Two of the Regency Monster Romance series.
Lady Diana Stewart can’t outrun scandal. After visiting relations in America over the past few months, she returns to London to find that her reputation, and that of her beloved sister, is still in peril. And it is all Diana’s fault. A safe alliance and the protection of a powerful family is the only way to preserve her family’s honor. So how fortunate that to rediscover Albion Higgins, the younger brother of the Duke of Barrington and one of the mysterious Lords of the Hidden Realm.
If only Albie would show himself to be more of the man she first met and less of the frivolous gent he has become now.
Albion Higgins may not need to outrun a scandal, but he has secrets of his own. While his elder brother has always been the serious one, Albie feels consigned to the role of jester. Although Albie will not inherit a title, he is determined to use his wealth and connections honorably to intervene in saving refugees fleeing the wrath of the Duke of Rostin, who has overrun the free state of Chamberly near the French border. The heroic exploits of the man the broadsheets have dubbed the Benevolent Phantom soon become the talk of London.
Never an orc to be overestimated, the Albion Higgins known to London Society could not possibly be the mastermind behind these daring rescues. Now, he must determine how to balance his secret identity and win the love of the new wife who has enchanted him: Lady Diana Stewart. She may see their marriage as a practical arrangement, but Albie is determined to romance his beloved “Daisy.”
