A historical romance in Regency-era London that has a mystery with it. A beautiful cortesan is fished out of the Thames, at first taken for dead, she is only unconsious. The policeman who finds her recognizes her immediately. He has a grudge against her and brings her home to extract revenge. When she wakes up she has amnesia and acts like a different person. Although all evidence indicates that everyone is correct about her identity, she can't help but be uncomfortable about it. She and the policeman fall in love and pursue the case to find out who tried to killer her.

Grant Morgan is one of London's most eligible and unattainable bachelors. He's also a powerful member of the Bow Street Runners, and when he's called to the waterfront late one night to investigate a drowning victim, Grant is stunned to recognize the face of Vivien Rose Duvall, a well-known woman of the night. He's even more startled when he realizes that she's alive. With no one to care for her, Grant carries Vivien to his home and revives her, only to learn that she is suffering from amnesia.
Vivien hesitantly accepts her handsome rescuer's claim that she is his mistress, despite her misgivings about her true identity. Nevertheless, she can't deny the marks on her throat that prove her near-drowning in the Thames was not an accident, and now she must trust the man who claims her as his paramour, for her life is in danger. As Grant searches for Vivien's attacker, the two find themselves falling in love, all the while struggling to stay one step ahead of the evil forces that will stop at nothing to see Vivien dead.

This was my first book by Lisa Kleypas. I really enjoyed it. Of course, now I'll have to get the rest of this series.

First from Bow Street Runner trilogy, Grant Morgan's story...excellent

Excellent read!

A very sweet love story. I really liked that the characters had flaws and learned to love one another in spite of those flaws. It made them much more realistic than many characters in Romance novels. This is a fast read - great romance and great mystery.
