Fred was perfectly happy to while away his unworthy life on the indulgent pleasures of his unrepentant lifestyle, dallying among the tarts and lowlifes of London high society. Until he was granted the love of the only woman strong enough to withstand him and his unscrupulous tastes, for his beloved Berthe is his match in every way, and equally able to scandalize everyone she meets. Cast adrift from their friends and family, trapped by the rigid morals of their new lives in Boston at the peak of its censorious Gilded Age crusade, Fred and Berthe face a shocking fight for their very lives, for if ever someone could make a bloody mess of a brand new chance, it’s those irrepressible Libertines… A passionate tale of devotion and resilience, this book contains sensitive subject matter relating to reproductive healthcare.
