Summary
London, 1934.
Everyone knows Vivienne Vane.
They know her gowns, her lovers and the dazzling smile she inherited from her mother. They know she is the daughter of England’s most notorious fascist financier. They know she enjoys being watched.
What they do not know is that Vivienne has spent years turning their attention into a weapon. Every rumour encouraged, every invitation accepted and every man permitted to underestimate her has moved another piece across the board.
But London does not belong to Vivienne alone.
Behind the velvet doors of the city’s most exclusive club, Harry Stanford trades in secrets, vice and the private weaknesses of powerful men. He cannot be charmed, cannot be frightened—and may be the first person capable of recognising Vivienne’s performance for what it is.
As blackshirts march and fortunes change hands in darkened rooms, two ruthless minds enter the same game.
Neither intends to lose.
Neither expects to desire the other.
And neither is nearly as innocent as they pretend.
