Book eighty-three: A Woman of Virtue

A Woman of Virtue (2001)
Liz Carlyle


Rating: 3.5/5

A past! Angst! Mysterious plots! Danger! And… humour!

I really enjoyed this. I have only read three other books by her, One Little Sin (my favourite), Two Little Secrets, and Three Little Lies, which were pretty good. I think I will have to find some more.

In the months since her husband’s death, Cecilia, Lady Walrafen, has hidden her emptiness by devoting herself to a charity mission for the poor women of London’s slums. But when the man who once tried to ruin her reputation turns up at the Nazareth Society, Cecilia is outraged.

The womanizing Lord Delacourt is vain, vindictive, and merciless. But he’s a man who honors his wagers. And when one of them goes wrong, landing him in a charity mission for prostitutes, he comes face-to face with the young woman whose reputation he once nearly ruined—and whose lips he has never forgotten. Soon, however, evil is stalking the women of the Nazareth Society, and only Delacourt knows how to guard Cecilia from the consequences of her own principles.
