Summary
The hair at the nape of her neck was very uneven, Violet discovered through careful exploration with her fingertips, marvelling blindly at it; some of it stuck up in glorious tufts, and rasped daringly against her fingers—some of it was still much too long by far. It was ruined, she realised. The thought was accompanied by an aching swell of joy.

Summary
The damage was done. She had sold—oh, utmost irony—the dress which might have stood her in best stead for those times when she had to drag herself through the streets of New York, skirts trailing heavily behind her. Instead, in her pastel marshmallow colours, lacking in friends and fashion, Irène Bordin—no!—Irene Adler felt soft, sticky and fatally Southern.
—
1874. Irene Adler learns how fragile other people's perceptions are.

Summary
“They do say an Englishman’s home is her castle,” she remarked finally, quiet and calm, then let the words settle in the empty air and glanced tentatively upwards, as if ascertaining that nothing had changed; that the world was still standing in the wake of her saying that aloud.
—
1889. Paradoxically, the rules of society protect Sherlock Holmes. As long as her secret is unthinkable, it is undetectable—until she meets the sharp, scandalous and startlingly free Irene Adler, who thinks of everything. A retelling of A Scandal in Bohemia, complete with a thousand disguises, lies and masks, a secret buried in the artistic world of late nineteenth century Paris and revenge against royalty.
