Davenport Dunn, a Man of Our Day. Volume 2 (of 2)
Davenport Dunn has built an empire on silver and reputation. A man of immense wealth and influence, he moves through Victorian England's highest circles, commanding loyalty and envy in equal measure. But when a coordinated attack on the Ossory Bank threatens everything he's constructed, Dunn finds himself besieged on all fronts: investors grow treacherous, rivals circle, and the very foundations of his financial kingdom begin to shake. At the center of this storm stands Lady Augusta Arden, a woman whose presence ignites both tension and longing in a man accustomed only to control. As the crisis deepens, Dunn must decide what he truly values: his fortune, his honor, or the human connections that might sustain him. Lever's novel pulses with the anxieties of an era obsessed with wealth, respectability, and the fragile architecture of reputation. It's a glittering portrait of power under pressure, where every dinner party conceals a knife and every handshake masks a betrayal. For readers who relish the political machinations of Trollope or the social savagery of Thackeray, this is Victorian England's dark heart laid bare.
