He’s adamant about keeping his secrets – almost paranoid about it. – but, Marcus doesn’t want anyone to know he’s the earl nor does he want them to know where he lives or anything else about him. Connor Steele has found him and has seen to making the claim legitimate, etc. He doesn’t want the title or the encumbrances that come along with it. Marcus doesn’t remember anything about that time – and doesn’t want to. Verity has worked there for almost twenty years and finally worked her way into being a reporter.īefore he was kidnapped as a child, Marcus North was known as Percival Northrop, heir to the Earl of Maxwell. The only thing he did for them was to arrange for Verity, at age twelve, to have a job at a newspaper, The Londoner. The earl was a profligate but did manage to provide a small cottage for them while he was alive, but he made no arrangements for them when he died. She is the natural daughter of an Earl and a barmaid.
Verity Lovelace, who is now thirty, has provided the support for herself, her sister and their former nursemaid since she was twelve years old.
Unfortunately, Stephen didn’t make an appearance.
I thought maybe we’d get a visit from Stephen who was one of those children and who was also a supporting character throughout the Wicked Wallflower series – he was heavily featured in The Bluestocking. These are children of the ton who were kidnapped by the malicious, infamous Diggory. This first entry in the Lost Lords of London series introduces us to the first of the kidnapped children Connor Steele ( The Vixen) has been commissioned to find.
