Christopher Argent is known in London as a killer. People pay him to get rid of their problems. He has never left a job unfinished. But when he is given a contract to kill Millie LeCour, a well-known London stage actress, he just can't go through with it. Something about her reminds him of his past. Argent was born in Newgate Prison where his mother was sentenced to fifteen years. She tried to shield him from the awful inmates and guards, but eventually died by their hands. Millie LeCour has a child that she will protect with her life. For the first time, Argent decides not to complete his contract, but to protect Millie and her son from the person who wants them dead.

The second book in the Victorian Rebels series is just as good as the first. The prologue pulls you right into the story. You see what has shaped Christopher Argent into the man he is today. Millie is a strong heroine with good instincts. She is willing to do anything to keep her son from harm. She knows sticking close to Argent will keep him protected.

Millie's son, Jakub, is an integral character to this story. His scenes with Argent was outstanding. They brought out another side of our hitman. Dorian and Farah from the previous book have a roll in this book too. We also see more of Chief Inspector Carlton Morley. I'm hoping he is eventually featured in his own book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
