rating:
The heroine is a dance hall singer who's got herself crossways with one of the powerful men in London's underworld and been fired from her job. The hero is a nobleman with a bratty sister who winds up in a bet that he can have a street urchin accepted in society, and when he goes shopping for his new protege at the opera auditions, discovers an amazing actress with a decent voice—the heroine. He offers to support her, educate her for society, and get her voice lessons so she can sing in the opera—her mother was a singer and it's been her goal for years—if she will agree to his plans. Desperate for money to support her chavvies, the children she's taken in, and for a place to escape from the gangster after her, she agrees. This story is up to Joyce's usual fabulousness. Excellent read.
