In that novel, we learned that Finn, one of Gilly’s four brothers, had a history with Lavinia – and in this one, we learn more about that history and follow them on a difficult and sometimes painful journey as they discover the truth of what happened to separate them, come to know who they are now, and rekindle their romance.įollowing her unexpected departure from the church on her wedding day, Lavinia has taken up residence with the Sisters of Mercy in Whitechapel, from whence she operates her one-woman crusade to rescue babies from the clutches of London’s baby-farmers. Thornley’s search for Lavinia – because he wanted to make sure she was alright, not because he wanted to force her to marry him – was the starting point for his romance with Gilly Trewlove, owner of the Mermaid and Unicorn Tavern in Whitechapel. If you’ve read or listened to the previous book ( When a Duke Loves a Woman), you may recall that its hero, the Duke of Thornley, was jilted at the altar by his intended, Lady Lavinia Kent.
