Description

London, 1926. Deploring social injustice, Lady Deborah Claremont opens a staff agency, concealing the fact that she is a member of the aristocracy. But Deborah has become accustomed to keeping secrets. It began eight years ago in 1918 when her dashing French lieutenant was tragically killed.

Deborah is torn between her feelings for Theo and the magnetism between herself and Evan. But then she is astounded by a mystery, one she is desperate to solve. And when its explosive secret is revealed she discovers that she has been both manipulated and betrayed ...

I really liked this book!
We follow Deobrah who run her own agency and help others find work and her life in general. Who she falls in love with, what she hides and what has happend before. It was maybe some dull moments here and there but it can't always be super exiting, but i liked that Debs (as she is called) was headstrong, smart and stood up for what she believed in, sometimes she was naive -but a real character also has flaws and it made me like her that she worked about it! The only thing is, that the ending felt a bit rushed, but i really liked it anyway.

A deeply moving novel of abiding love, treachery and the secrets one day had to be revealed. A touching ending that leaves you in a puddle of emotions.

Thank you to Net Galley and Allison & Busby for the chance to read and review this book. I really enjoyed this book-it kept my attention right from the beginning. The story takes place in London in 1926. Even though Lady Deborah Claremont is a member of the aristocracy, she has opened a staffing agency to help unemployed workers. She is keeping her wealthy roots a secret as well as a secret from the year 1918. Along the way, she meets two men-Theodore Field and Evan Morgan. She has feelings for both, but Theodore is more suited to her aristocratic roots. This is the story of how these secrets unravel and change Deborah's life. I highly recommend this book-it was very good!.
