About The Book
"A gritty, steamy series opener full of dark twists and hot trysts." – Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author
"An immersive and suspenseful Regency romance" – Publishers Weekly
*One of the most requested romance books on NetGalley*
In the twilight of a November evening, Sir Henry March, a man of wealth and charm — and a secret agent for the Crown — comes across a badly beaten Eliza Broad, desperate to escape her cruel stepfather. Knowing she has nowhere to go, Sir Henry takes her to his home to recover, and introduces her to a world of culture, art, and literature she never knew existed. But Eliza's brutal world follows her to London, where elite aristocratic salons coexist with the back alleys of the criminal underworld.
As romance blossoms between them, Eliza unearths an old secret that leads them into the dark, sadistic world of sex trafficking, and allows Henry to finally identify a traitor responsible for selling military secrets and causing the death of thousands.
A natural at the spy game, Eliza proves herself a worthy partner in the fight for truth and justice. But with time running out, and the fate of one girl hanging in the balance, Henry and Eliza must find a way to outwit a nasty pimp and eliminate a dangerous enemy agent.
Look for the second book in the The Gentleman Spy Mysteries series, The Gentleman's Daughter.

“A gritty, steamy series opener full of dark twists and hot trysts.”–Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author
From the brutal opening pages, to the tenderest of love scenes, The Innkeeper's Daughter took me on a ride of contradictory emotions. Sadistic villians paired with beautiful regency details made this story unforgettable, but it is truly the characters who steal the show. Eliza is delightful, Sir Henry March has my heart, and our author, Bianca M. Schwarz, has me eagerly awaiting the next book."–Amanda Linsmeier, author
