“Kleypas is a romance gem, a queen among a vast royal court of historical romance authors.” —Entertainment Weekly

A stunning new reprint of a classic Lisa Kleypas love story about a man whos decided to forgo all romantic entanglements... until he meets a beautiful woman with a secret...

They call him the Monk of Bow Street

Sir Ross Cannon, magistrate and head of the Bow Street Runners, has spent the past few years apprehending the most dangerous criminals in London. He’s driven and disciplined, a man to be feared. His personal needs have been set aside, his days and nights consumed by the determined pursuit of justice.

Until Lady Sophia Sydney, a beautiful young woman with a tarnished past, comes to ask for employment. Ross knows a woman like Sophia doesn’t belong in the rough-and-tumble world of Bow Street, but he gives in to temptation and hires her as his assistant. Day by day the attraction between them grows, until neither of them can ignore the power of their mutual desire.

But Sophia has a secret . . . and when Ross discovers the tragic link between their pasts, any chance of being with him will vanish. All they have are a few nights of pleasure, before Sophia will be forced to leave the man she’s fallen hopelessly in love with. 

What she doesn’t count on is how much Ross is willing to risk for the sake of a woman who’s awakened his heart.

Ratings and reviews

Lisa Kleypas may very well be my favorite author in all of time and space. Her writing style is absolutely amazing, I'm not exaggerating. This book's hero is one of my very favorites from Lisa, and the story is sizzling hot and keeps you interested to the very last page. So many happy memories reading this series and all of her books. I'm excited for her latest work, Devil's Daughter!

First Lisa Kleypas book I ever read and I've been hooked ever since. I read this book in one day and could read it 100 times and never get tired of it. Although the wallflower and Hathaway's books are still my favorite.

It must be very gratifying to be able to capture a person's total interest in fantasy and escapism and for the person to want more and more. Lisa Kleypas you have done that for me. I loved the book, and the series you write. I'm all in.
