But her promise of forever ended in betrayal. Driven by a past that haunts her, Lady Lavinia Kent seeks redemption in London’s underworld, engaged in a daring cause inspired by the young man to whom she gave her innocence, and who then proved himself a scoundrel by abandoning her. When their paths cross again, they can’t deny the yearning and desire that still burns. As they discover the truth behind the deceptions that tore them apart, Finn and Lavinia must fight to reclaim what they’ve lost, no matter how dangerous—because love is worth the risk….

Considered DNF-ing this one because I really didn't care for the flashbacks at the beginning, though I did think it was an odd choice to have them stop before Finn supposedly abandons her, which is only discussed, not shown on page. This picked up considerably after the reveal of Lavinia's backstory and I'm very glad that Robin didn't turn out to be their son, because I saw that coming from a mile away and I'm happy I was wrong. I wanted a bit more development of the MCs, especially of Finn, but this was better than I expected from the first third.
