![]() ![]() ![]() I really liked the relationship between Venetia and Gabriel and liked Venetia's relationship with her family. Imagine her surprise, and Gabriel's, when he shows up to protect her from those who wanted something from among the artifacts. Jones since she figures he's gone for good. She and her family are just about to transfer their business to London and Venetia needs a new name. Some days later she reads a small article in the paper indicating that Gabriel is dead and the house has burnt to the ground. When thieves threaten the house, Gabriel sends her away. She meets Gabriel Jones at that remote location and decides to seduce him since she's certain she'll never marry, is attracted to him, and figures she'll never see him again when her job is finished. She gets a plum assignment - paid in advance - to take pictures of objects owned by the Arcane Society. Venetia Milton is trying to support her family - spinster aunt, younger sister, and younger brother - by working as a society photographer. The first Arcane Society story takes place late in Queen Victoria's reign. ![]()
