1882. An artist from the notorious Seven Dials will paint her way into London's heart... Violet Latimer longs to escape her scandalous origins in the rookery of Seven Dials and finally make a name for herself as a painter. But her past is never far behind her, nor is the notorious criminal Archie Neville. Fresh out of prison, he's determined to make her his wife - and catch whoever put him away in the first place. Calling on her high society friends for help, Violet finds herself in an unlikely alliance with the last man a girl from the rookeries should ever approach, undercover detective, John Barrow. A man from her side of the tracks - and dangerously handsome too - John offers Violet a bargain: he'll help her escape from Archie if she'll help him collect the information he needs to bring Archie down for good. But neither Violet nor John have counted on the attraction that ignites between them. As their dangerous arrangement progresses, Violet feels all her plans for the future unravelling in the heat from John's eyes. Can she dare to trust this man, despite the secrets she senses he's keeping? Will surrendering to her heart be Violet's salvation, or her downfall? With an unforgettable heroine and swoon-worthy romance, A Brush with Scandal will delight fans of Lisa Kleypas, Minerva Spencer and Julia Quinn's Bridgerton.
