I have a lot of good things to say about this book. Soon, she is swept up into a dangerous world of opium smuggling. Even though Lydia begins to question the odd requests of Bane, she finds herself attracted to his cleverness, charm, and sense of humor. Seemingly fortuitously, Alexander Banebridge (Bane), a friend of her boss, offers to pay her a lot of money for some free-lance translation work. She needs to raise several hundred dollars to buy her home by December. However, her landlords are now threatening to throw her out of the only stable home she’s ever had. She meticulously organizes her surroundings so that, for the first time in her life, she feels she’s in control of her life. Lydia Pallas grew up surrounded with instability, but she is finally content with her comforting home and rewarding job as a translator for the U. There’s still time to read this fantastic book!
