London, 1776
It’s been twelve years since Hannah Dennington looked into the gray eyes of Samuel Ross, their depths as bleak as sadness itself. That childhood memory—the day she accused him of hiding a stolen pocket watch and sent him to appear before Sir John Fielding, the renowned blind London magistrate—still haunts her.
Young Samuel was certain he was bound for the gallows. Instead, the Blind Beak saw a soul worth saving and sent the orphaned pickpocket to serve in the Royal Navy—until a wartime injury returns a grown and changed Samuel to London, and Sir John grants him a trial post as a Bow Street officer. Determined to prove himself, Samuel uses his knowledge of London’s criminal element to apprehend felons.
When highwaymen hold up Hannah’s coach, it is Samuel who comes to her rescue. Almost instantly, he recognizes her as the girl who once betrayed him. But she’s now a woman whose beauty is matched only by her intellect and stubborn independence.
