Review Quotes:
"Lisa Kleypas turns her pen to historical fiction with considerable panache! Brilliant economist Reina Martin knows she's considered an eccentric, from her household staffed with ex-convicts to her ambition of founding England's first all-female bank, but she's determined never to surrender her independence. When her mysterious new butler reveals himself as an undercover police detective, Reina finds herself embroiled in a massive fraud investigation that threatens everything she holds dear--including her heart. Queen of Lombard Street is an absolute delight!" - Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author
"Dazzling and transformative." - Cosmopolitan
"After five years, Kleypas is back, and her fans will be delighted...a clever and well-researched one, with illuminating details of Victorian life on nearly every page.
