The brilliant detective fought his way off the streets and into a promising career through sheer force of will and a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn’t peculiar…she’s pandemonium. With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas and an unabashed love of experiments and explosives, society has labeled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar…and doesn’t know she’s one of the Hell’s Belles-a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London. New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hell’s Belles novel about a chaotic bluestocking and the buttoned-up detective enlisted to keep her out of trouble (spoiler: She is the trouble).

The Algonquin people were dismayed by the damage to the river and fought with the Europeans. Then one day European settlers arrived in the area and cleared large tracts of land, built sawmills along the river and trapped all of the large animals for their pelts. In turn, the Algonquin community respected and revered the river, ensuring they did nothing to damage its pristine waters.
