A champion for justice, Lady Glory Cavendish refuses to live by society's expectations. As a member of Lady Charlotte's secret society of lady detectives, she is determined to help women in need—even when her latest investigation leads her into the path of a mysterious martial arts master whose quiet strength and hidden sorrow stir her curiosity...and her heart.
Wei Chen, a healer trained in the ancient martial arts, has come to London with a single purpose: to avenge the family taken from him during the Opium Wars. By day, he treats the suffering in his East End clinic; by night, he hunts the man responsible for their deaths. He cannot afford distraction—least of all the spirited duke's daughter who insists on becoming his pupil and awakens desires forbidden between master and student...and impossible between a commoner and a lady.
As danger closes in and secrets from Wei's past resurface, Glory and Wei must choose between duty and desire, vengeance and love. Will the shadows of the past keep them apart...or will they risk everything for a future together?
"I was blown away by this book—a rich world of love, friendship, humor, passion, and an unforgettable connection between the leads." — Goodreads reviewer
"Wei is inspired by the heroes of Cantonese dramas—tortured, graceful, elegant, DADDY—and there's this sense of wuxia throughout... Still waters run deep, and it must be said, Wei is SICK HOT." — NetGalley reviewer
