Lady A is the most notorious blackmailer in the city. With just a mask and a gown to disguise her, she sweeps into lavish balls and exclusive events collecting the most valuable currency in 18th-century London: secrets. Everything changes when she meets Grae Sinclair. Grae has traveled the world, seen the exotic lands Arista has longed to escape to her whole life, and he loves Arista for who she is, not for what she can do for him. He has promised to help her escape the life of crime that has claimed her since she was a child. But can you ever truly escape the past
"Tangled Webs is a fast-paced page-turner filled with intrigue and romance. Bross presents Arista's limited worldview and gender limitations with thoughtful consideration, taking few liberties beyond what the plot requires. The author takes pains to create particular moods through numerous and detailed setting descriptions."--VOYA
"The title's setting matches that of important mainstays in the English curriculum, such as books by Charles Dickens and the Bronte sisters, but its contemporary style makes it easier to read than the classics...A volume for historical fiction fans, which would also be a good choice for readers just getting into the genre."--School Library Journal
