She may seem as vulnerable as a kitten, but given the chance, she can be as fierce as a tiger. Her adopted brother, Stephen, has just been snatched back by his true father, and she’ll be damned if she relinquishes the boy to the man reviled throughout London as the Mad Marquess.

Story
To solve a mystery that’s become the talk of the ton, no clues run too deep for willful reporter Verity Lovelace. Not even in the sewers of London. That’s precisely where she finds happily self-sufficient scavenger Malcom North, lost heir to the Earl of Maxwell. Now that Verity’s made him front-page news, what will he make of her? Kidnapped as a child, with no memories of his well-heeled past, Malcom prefers the grimy spoils of the culverts to the gilded riches of society.

Publisher's Summary
Rivalry, romance, and scandal run hot in this Wicked Wallflowers novel from USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell.
Regina (Reggie) Spark has loved Broderick Killoran, the resourceful and protective proprietor of the Devil’s Den, ever since he saved her from the streets and made her his right hand at the notorious gaming hell. For just as long, Reggie has never admitted her true feelings for him. Nor has she revealed her spirited ambitions - to buck convention and expectations and open a music hall.
While Broderick built his gaming empire with ruthless cunning, his loyalty to his employees is boundless. So when he learns of Reggie’s plan to leave his side and take charge of her own future, the betrayal cuts Broderick to the core. He responds as he would to any business rival…with swift retribution.
Instead of wilting, the savvy Reggie rebounds with a fury that shocks Broderick and stirs a desire he’s been holding in reserve for only ladies of nobility. But as their seductive battle of wills ignites under the harsh spotlight of the London Season, secrets are exposed as well - ones that could be ruinous in decent society but invaluable for the heart.

You have to read the story to see how it unfolds. It is awesome! I couldn't stop listening! BUY THE BOOK OR AUDIOBOOK!

Another good listen in the series. Great price, too with Kindle book.
I received this Audible on the same day it came out, and completed it the following day. Christi Caldwell did an excellent job with the storyline and the characters. I was caught up with each character's emotional state as they tried to address and solve problems that affected their family and the employees who depended upon them for protection and financial security. Although this book is one in a series, it is not necessary to listen in sequence. However, I do suggest listening in sequence in order to really appreciate and better understand the many characters that appear in each book. These characters are not a part of London's aristocracy. They live and work in London's seemier locations. The men, women and children are street smart and distrustful of "proper" society. This is a theme that flows through all the books in the series. I enjoyed this Audible because there was romance. I also appreciate the strong characters: children, as well as adult hero/heroine. I also thoroughly enjoyed the narrator's voice. Tim Campbell is one of my favorite narrators. For me, this is a 5-star book. I ask that you give it a try.

The BEST in the series so far!
I've read & listened to so many of Chisti's novels and, of the ones I've read, I've enjoyed all but a few. This one was fantastic. And was that an Easter egg in Chapter 22?! Broderick is staring out of the window of the townhouse they're living in and spots a couple walking by... Anyone remember Daniel & Daphne Winterbourne? If you've read/listened to "To Redeem a Rake", you'll immediately know. That was a treat. I go through so many of Chisti's novels that I often don't have time to leave lengthy reviews but this one set itself a part. The entire series is really good but this has been my favorite. And of course, as I've said many times before, Tim Campbell & Christi Caldwell are an exceptional team.
Tim Campbell is the best narrator on the planet! What an incredible voice! And his singing! I could listen to him all day! He's just phenomenal.

Broderick is a Thug
The heroine is only attracted to men who abuse and bully her, which is sadly a common problem with abused women.
Clara might have been a prostitute but she was still in control of her body and her life, and knew what she wanted.
Reggie speak of freedom and women's rights, but she never fights for herself
The sisters and family, she has lived with for ten years, baring one turn their back on her. All because of one spoilt, mistrusting, child and a man who can't admit he needs someone else to blame and punishment. Instead of using his so call skills of knowing everything he lashes out.
The heroine has two of theses brutes to deal with and a nasty child to endure.
Still she solves it all and forgives all.

Bravo to Tim Campbell!
I've been on a bit of a Christi Caldwell splurge over the last few weeks, some of the stories have been a little obvious and have echoes from many other historical romance stories I've listened to, but this series is a little different with the less glossy side of history and yet still strong surviving women and I'm sure there were many.
I admit I don't always enjoy Tim Campbell's pronunciation but I suppose he's aiming for "RP" which always sounds odd I suppose to the modern ear, but what drew me to comment on this particular book was his singing! Who knows if he researched actual melodies, I don't care, it was rather charming and evocative of those times and added that je ne sais quoi to an already enjoyable book.
