As apprentice to London�s most notorious whipping governess, Alice Hull is on the cusp of abandoning her quiet, rural roots for the city�s swirl of provocative ideas and pleasures�until a family tragedy upends her dreams and leaves her desperate to get home. When the handsome, pious Lord Lieutenant offers her a ride despite the coming blizzard, she knows he is her best chance to reach her ailing mother�even if she doesn�t trust him.
