I am so glad I didn't grow up in London in the 1700s where women were chattel and had no say in anything. April Jardine is orphaned at 18 and homeless. She finds work at a brothel working in the kitchen until one day the madame insists she work for the house and not as a maid. April finds this abhorant and flees taking the madames diary. The diary provides all kinds of scandalous information on high ranking nobles. April decides to blackmail some of them for money since her options are limited. One such person is the Duke of Westbrook, who had an affair and a child with the madame. Low and behold the Duke's son is skeptical of April's story and does all he can to uncover her perfidy...falling in love as a result. The further adventures of Riley and April are rather amusing and touching. I enjoyed this book and Ms. Marcos' writing style.
