The Viscount & The Lighterman’s Daughter by Lotte R. James
They’ve hidden their true selves – but can they find each other?
Viscount Percy Egerton nearly lost everything in the wake of his friend Harcourt Sinclair’s scandal. Not even taking over a shipping company and playing nighttime vigilante has helped him find what he wants most: himself. But when the daughter of one of his workers bursts into his life, he’ll soon find everything he ever wished for is within his grasp, if only he has the courage to reach out…
When Meg Lowell is dismissed and forced to return home to Sailortown, she is desperate to find the means to survive, and keep her family from destitution. Clever, and hardworking, she has no fear. At least until she meets Percy, and he threatens her with the most dangerous thing of all; love.
Redemption, adventure, secrets, desire, and love in the docklands of Regency London.

Both live in the shadows, and know all too well the cruelty of those in power. The darkness in their hearts means they can never love – doesn’t it?
