This was excellent.  It is the 3rd of a series and includes the story of two women.  One was taken from an orphanage at 8 and made a kitchen maid but at age 10, the baron raped her and used her in his brothel for Lord's who wanted young girls.  Another book told the story of a young girl who was kidnapped from school to be sold into marriage to an old degenerate Lord.  She helped her escape. In doing so she helped Lord Halkyn save Charlotte.  Laura also helped Alfred, the Bow Street officer to bring the Baron who owned the house to trial.  Laura and Alfred were attracted to one another and said, "In another life, in another time..." They would have been together.  Laura found out that after the house closed that several of the girls disappeared under suspicious conditions.  She had a roommate from the house and they decided they should disappear themselves but Susan wanted to wait another day.  Laura found that she was killed that night so she did not go home, but went to find Alfred to get his help.  She was also pregnant with Alfred' s child though she had not intended to tell him.  It was something she wanted to have a piece of him.The other woman was Martha the housekeeper of Lady Dunston.  Charles, the business manager of Lord Dunham was attracted to Margaret but they also annoyed one another.The two stories were interesting but life and stories Don't always end as we want in every way.  This is worth the read as are the other stories.
