London 1926. When Kitty Worthington, her husband Robert, and their friends arrive at Langford Hall for the society wedding of the season, something feels wrong before the first champagne cork pops. The groom is drinking too much. The sweet-faced American bride with a steel fortune looks as though she'd rather be anywhere else. And the crumbling Tudor estate draped in roses and lilies can't quite disguise the desperation underneath.

In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton. After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing.

Her brother, King Arthur, treats her as a valued advisor and Morgan finally has recognition befitting her intelligence within Arthur’s trusted circle, despite a longstanding conflict with Queen Guinevere.

Rebecca Spencer holds her struggling family together, working long hours as a match girl at Bryant and May, where the threat of ‘phossy jaw’ hangs over every shift. But when her brother falls in with dangerous men while mudlarking on the Thames, the Spencers are dragged into a world of ruthless crime. Rebecca already has secrets after her elder sister’s tragic end in a Whitechapel backstreet. Now scandal is looming once more, and echoes of the past bring haunting memories of unsolved murders… and a baby born out of wedlock.

The blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen.
