Eliza’s agency is thriving, and her professional life is on a successful path – on the personal side, however, Duke has now been away in New York for several months, and Eliza is forced to make a difficult decision. Meanwhile, a new Detective Inspector comes to Scotland Yard, and Eliza must navigate building a relationship with him if she’s going to continue having access to police resources. All these changes and decisions beg the question – can Eliza Scarlet have it all?
