Sherlock Holmes has seen it all before.
Men after revenge, women running from the past, street rats with nothing to lose. Those who are in it for money, for love, for a way of escape. He has dealt with criminals and kings. He can fathom the motives of shopkeepers, peasant girls, dukes and professors.
Yet rarely does he find one who plays the game for its own sake.
Charlotte Winchester has barely hit twenty when the worst happens. One moment secure in her position as the educated, strong-willed heiress to the family fortune, the next moment running for her very life. Betrayed by the closest of friends, terrified for her brother's life, she quickly realizes how much is at stake.
She's willing to do anything.
And for once, Sherlock Holmes can't predict the outcome.

She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester.
