A Wallflower Demands Satisfaction — Andrea K. Stein

Olivia Jones needs justice more than she needs a husband Olivia Jones is the acknowledged best laundress in London. She's spent years perfecting her methods of producing the softest, lavender-infused linens. Some of the wealthiest lords in England send their soiled shirts to her and don't count the cost. She's become comfortably well off what managing the exclusive laundry for Goodrum's House of Pleasure, owned by Captain Eleanor Whitcombe, Duchess of Chelmsford, and her side business of custom laundry for the tonnish families in Mayfair. Although Olivia does not need, or want a husband, her adoptive brother has wangled a Season for her and a large dowry, both sponsored by the duke and duchess, in exchange for an, um special favor he provided Her Grace several years earlier. A notorious blackmailer picks on the wrong woman At her first formal ball, Baron Barclay Reynolds approaches her and demands she accept his offer of marriage. If she doesn't, he'll turn over what he knows about her real mother, a well-known opera singer to the gossip sheets. The blackmailer has underestimated the rage simmering beneath the surface of the sweet young laundress. She determines to destroy the disgusting baron on her own terms. Will London's newest 'Peeler' risk everything to help Olivia? Will Beckford is not Her Grace's idea of a proper match for Olivia, but he is one of Robert Peel's new Peelers patrolling the streets of London. And he's devoted to Olivia and Dickie, having scrabbled up as a street urchin with them, his two oldest, most loyal, friends. However, as far as Olivia's concerned, Will is the perfect instrument of her revenge. She will demand satisfaction.
