Ezra Bedford brings us the revised 2025 edition of his female-led tale from late-Victorian England.

Read on, as an unjustly disgraced convict, recently released from prison after a sentence for the crime of embezzlement, applies for the position of a live-in secretary at an affluent London Home after reading a most curious advertisement in a daily paper.

A reading and an application that will change his life and prove more curious than he thought when the man he thinks will be employing him turns out to be a woman.

A woman with a monstrous West Indian housekeeper who shares her own views on the subject of men.

Views that are NOT warm and cuddly!

Believable and retro female-led fantasy fiction from Ezra Bedford, for those of you who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines.
