The gilded lily : a novel / Deborah Swift.
England, 1661. Ella Appleby believes she is destined for better things than slaving as a housmaid and dodging the blows of her drunken father. When her employer dies suddenly, she seizes her chance-taking his valuables and fleeing the countryside with her sister, Sadie, for ther golden prospects of London. But London may not be the promised land she expects. Work is hard to find, until Ella takes up with Jay Whitgift, a dashing and dubious gentleman with ties to the London underworld. With Ella's old employer's twin brother in hot pursuit and the law hunting them down, the sisters must do anything to avoid capture. Soon, a rift has formed between Ella and Sadie, and the sisters are threatened by a menace more sinister than they could have ever imagined.
