London, 1878
Lily, Lady Bradden, is a woman with secrets.
Fleeing her ruthless husband and a dark past, she finds unlikely refuge in Madame Chambon's Pleasure House, though she is not required to work in the flesh trade like Madame Chambon's other 'Fallen Angels'.
Forced to pose as a clairvoyant to summon the spirit of a nobleman's dead daughter whom she closely resembles, Lily walks a dangerous line between deception and survival.
Hamish McTavish, the principled editor of "Manners and Morals Magazine," is determined to expose Lily as a fraud. But his resolve wavers as an undeniable attraction sparks between them, challenging everything he believes.
As Lily and Hamish navigate their forbidden desires, a sinister plot unfolds. A murder at the pleasure house. A threatening Russian diplomat. And Lily's husband, who wants her silenced—permanently.
With her past closing in and her future uncertain, Lily must place her trust in the one man who doubts her most. Can Hamish uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will the lies that brought them together ultimately tear them apart?
"Loving Lily" is a seductive blend of passion and peril, where nothing is as it seems and love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
It's Book 6 in the Fair Cyprians of London series but can be read as a standalone.
