The Emperor's Conspiracy

The Emperor's Conspiracy

Set in early nineteenth-century England, this vivid and romantic historical novel goes from the most elegant ballrooms of London to the cityâ€™s most tawdry slums, as a spirited young woman helps unravel a plot by Napoleon to bleed England of all its gold.

From nineteenth-century Londonâ€™s elegant ballrooms to its darkest slums, a spirited young woman and a nobleman investigating for the Crown unmask a plot by Napoleon to bleed England of its gold.

Chance led to Charlotte Ravenâ€™s transformation from chimney sweep to wealthy, educated noblewoman, but she still walks a delicate tightrope between two worlds, unable to turn her back on the ruthless crime lord who was once her childhood protector.

When Lord Edward Durnham is tapped to solve the mystery of Englandâ€™s rapidly disappearing gold, his search leads him to the stews of London, and Charlotte becomes his intriguing guide to the cityâ€™s dark, forbidding underworld. But as her involvement brings Charlotte to the attention of men who have no qualms about who they hurt, and as Edward forges a grudging alliance with the dangerous ghosts of Charlotteâ€™s former life, she faces a choice: to continue living in limbo, or to close the door on the past and risk her heart and her happiness on an unpredictable future.
