A Gentleman Never Keeps Score

A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (2018) Cat Sebastian (Seducing the Sedgwicks #2)

Set in London in 1817

I feel like you all know you’d be contaminated by touching anything that comes from my purse. It makes me feel so dirty.

How could anyone sleep under these conditions? Sadie might die. Her baby might never live. It was appalling that this was how people came into being and Hartley had a mind to lodge a complaint, or, since that was not possible, to weep onto someone’s shoulder.

Some black families, like Sam’s mother’s people, had been in England for centuries. But a generation ago, Britain had promised black Americans freedom if they fought against the colonists. Sam’s father had been one of them.

Countless horrors unfolded nightly on these streets, but they were a hell of a lot less likely to happen in the company of a large man.
