Nora was a housekeeper and a super efficient one.  She had come to the household 10 years before when she was thrown out of her aunt's house after Lord Chesterfield had raped her.  She had borne Samuel.  She was lucky to find a job.  She was a maid at first, cleansing chamber pots and had progressed to housekeeper running the whole household.She was supervising a ball when there was a shot and a man fell over the balcony landing on the ballroom floor.In clearing up the mess and talking to a man who said he was from the bow street runners, they were also shot at.  What was happening?  Her. whole controlled life was being turned upside down.  She who did n' t care for men ended up kissing Nathan who was the older, illegitimate brother of an Earl and both were spies.  Her life would never be the same again.  She had to flee her position, giving no notice and her son had been kidnapped.  She had go get him back.  He was a very smart boy for only 10.This was very enjoyable.  I laughed.  I  worried that someone could be killed.  I wondered if she would get over her trauma.She had not slept in a bed but sat up in a chair for over 10 years.  She looked tired all the time.  Nightmares kept her up. Would Nathan  make a difference?  I am wondering if I can get the next of the series.  I hope so.  I feel like part of the family.  This has been interesting and a very good read.
