When Lady Sophia gets a job working for the Bow Street magistrate Sir Ross Cannon, she has only one goal: Destroy him in any way she can. She believes him to be responsible for punishing her brother harshly and causing his death when her brother was arrested for pickpocketing. She intends to seduce him, make him fall in love with her, and gather evidence of corruption at the same time. Then she plans to ruin him. What she doesn't plan on is finding a caring, fair, forgiving man who needs her love.
This book was wonderful. I was drawn in right away by the romantic and sexual tension between Ross and Sophia. They are both good people who have been ill used and disappointed in their lives, and they both need each other very badly. I loved how this book wasn't set in the typical ball rooms, drawing rooms, etc of the Regency era. This book was more working-class (though the characters are well born), which I felt made them seem more real and normal. The love story was very touching and it was a delight to read. I highly recommend it!!! I give it a 4.5!!
