This is a delightful romance in The Impossible Bachelors series.  Jilly Jones has run away from her cruel husband, Hector, and opened the bookstore on Dreare Street with proceeds from the sales of her mother's property.  Hector has confiscated all her inheritance and has treated her badly.  Dreare Street is known to be the unluckiest street in London and is constantly shrouded in fog.  Add to this the rowdy sailors across the street at Captain Arrow's house, and Jilly realized she must do something to improve the neighborhood...and improve it she does!!
