Enter the world of the most notorious gambling den in London, where matches are made... unusually. Welcome to the world of THE LYON'S DEN: The Black Widow of Whitehall Connected World, where the underground of Regency London thrives... and loves.

If you do not marry by Season’s end, I shall expose the seedy side of your father’s past, thereby damaging his reputation—and yours by proxy—condemning you both to a life of destitution and despair.

Who is sending Charlotta Walcot threatening notes? Why would anyone cast aspersions against her father, a mild-mannered professor of antiquities at Cambridge University? As for herself, although she has no plans to wed, why would that be of issue to anyone to save herself? Desperate to swerve the scandal that would destroy both her and her father’s reputations, Charlotta dares to venture into the Lyon’s Den, a gambling hall and house of ill repute in London’s fashionable Whitehall. There, she begs its owner, the mysterious Black Widow, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon, to use her connections to identify her blackmailer.

But that is not the end of Charlotta’s troubles.

Obliged to attend her cousins’ coming-out ball, she collides with Lord Septimus Grey. After witnessing the delivery of another unpleasant note to her, Septimus offers his help. But how can Charlotta place her trust in him since he is the man who, years ago, stole her young and impressionable heart?

An indiscretion, a scandalous game of truth or dare, and the prize—a coveted kiss—threaten her future, but this is one game she cannot quit.

Spencer Wright-Smythe, antiquities hunter and Baron of Kilverstone has something of a rakish reputation. So when he’s introduced to Miss Parthenia Steere, she’s instantly on her guard, even though the attraction she feels is almost overwhelming. She resists his impudence as she’s determined to marry for love, to a man who’s good and true.

If only things were that simple. For Thenie has already set the cat among the pigeons by spreading a scurrilous rumor about herself in order to avoid a betrothal, and it won’t be long before all Society knows of her supposed indiscretion. Will her two younger sisters be hurt by her impulsiveness and prevented from marrying well too?

Then there’s the temptation of Spencer, who’s somehow always near. He challenges her to a game of truth or dare—if she loses, he’ll claim a kiss.

It’s hard to say no since she’s never been kissed before.

Mr. Quinton Prendergast meets an enchanting young woman whilst walking in Hyde Park, and wishes he could find such a girl to be his wife. But since ladies of the ton refuse to give him a second glance, he decides to employ the matchmaking skills of his distant cousin, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon—otherwise known as the Black Widow of Whitehall, owner of the Lyon’s Den. Happily, Bess comes through, swiftly hatching a possible match to one of the Misses Steere.

When their elder sister’s reputation appears tarnished, Miss Augusta Steere and her twin sister, Delphi, must seek husbands posthaste. Being the eldest by mere minutes, Augusta is far from inspired by the list her father acquires from an unnamed source. If only she could be introduced to someone like the handsome man she encountered in Hyde Park.

Shock registers when Quin realizes Miss Augusta Steere is the girl in the park, and he hardly minds when she kisses him at Delphi’s entreaty, an act which forces a declaration of engagement and a hasty marriage. Nevertheless, Augusta’s feet grow cold when she’s whisked away to Kent and the man she’s dreamed of, hardly has time for her in reality.

Could it be that she compromised him into marrying her to skirt her elder sister’s scandal because he’s wealthy but untitled, and he married her because she’s the daughter of a viscount?
