Book Description:

A vulnerable beauty must choose between poverty and the dubious intentions of a wealthy lord.

INTO THE LION's DEN

Miss Victoria Dawkins was in a most perilous position. Cast out of respectable society by a scurrilous slur on her good name, alone and penniless in the London lower depths, this proud but all too vulnerable young lady could not afford to turn down the Earl of Clune's offer. The elegant, handsome, and clearly conscienceless nobleman wished to engage Victoria as a companion to an elderly woman on his great country estate.

Victoria had no illusions about the earl's intentions toward her. But she was not prepared for a different kind of danger in a manor where the vengeful ghost of a scandalous past sought her as its victim.

Somehow Victoria had to stop the earl from suspecting he held the key to her heart. And she had to stop herself from yielding to a mysterious menace that she could not believe in or deny....

Well written. Hero came from an impoverished background and is gritty/strong character with nobel traits rather than just nobility. The heroine is almost Dickensian - quick descent into poverity and barely survives the trip. She is helped by a motley family lead by a young urchin that is more worldly than her, keeps her out of death's grip. The hero's young cousin causes the heroine to lose her governess post, tries several different ways to remediate that problem, but causes other problems. Excellent regency romance, not much actual romance but the book is very dramatic and engrossing with strong characters.
