Beautiful young Polly grew up with Meg, the woman she knew as her aunt. But upon Meg’s death, Polly discovers she was a foundling . . . and learns she is about to be cast out of her humble cottage.
 
There’s nothing to do but leave the village and set out for London—for Meg harbors deep suspicions about the elderly woman’s demise. Only a day before she died, Meg had journeyed to Meresly Manor, and came back from the earl’s estate with ugly bruises. Before she can untangle the dark secrets at the heart of this mystery, Polly will stand accused of murder and sentenced to hang—until a dashing nobleman offers to help her find the real killer . . .
