Twins, Faith and Honesty, had been abducted when they were four years old.  Now, sixteen years later, Honesty is hoping to find her long lost sister.  She has been living in America and is deliriously happy in her recent marriage; she is thrilled because her new husband has agreed to hunt for Faith. 

Faith is living in the slums of London with a group of young pickpockets and has been well trained in her craft, answering to the cruel Jack Swift.  Her only real friend is the young boy, Scatter, who is also part of the group.  Jack sends her out in the rain and tells her to not return until she brings back something of value.  She and Scatter work together to fleece a gentleman coming out of a tavern and as Faith picks his pocket, she gives the purse to Scatter.  They both try to get away but Troyce, Baron of Westborough, apprehends Faith.  Instead of taking her to jail, he takes her to his home to be trained as a servant.  He is surprised to find a beautiful woman immerge from the filth and degradation of living in the slums.

Troyce has recently come into the title of Baron of Westborough.  He has also inherited an ancestral home, a London house and a mound of debt.  Hoping to refurbish a huge ship so that he can sell it to make some ready money, he is unable to find backers for his venture.  His sharp-tongued sister, Devon, is living with him and takes an instant dislike to Faith.  Troyce finds Faith invitingly forthright and is very attracted to the young minx.

As Honesty dreams of finding her sister and her husband is following clues to locate her, Faith is trying to settle into learning to be a maid but finds it increasingly difficult to not succumb to the attractions of her employer.

Faith is an interesting character and wants to change her life for the better.  She doesn’t hesitate to confront her employer but does shy away from Devon who obviously has a past that has made her angry at life.  Since her story is unfinished, could Devon’s story possibly be the next book by this talented author?  Troyce is attracted to the lovely Faith and protects her from his sister’s wrath but because of his penniless situation, knows he must find a wealthy woman even though he finds the solution unappealing.  He is a likeable hero who cares for and protects the people that he cares about. 

A SCANDALOUS LADY is well written, moves along at a good pace and is an interesting story line.  What more could a reader want?  Excellent job by Rachelle Morgan.
