[English-Language TV Crossover] The Nineteenth Century

Jane Haward had never wondered what might be wrong with her eighteen years of life. She was a thoroughly ordinary person. Except for a slight emotional deficiency... She had no idea what it meant to feel fear. Yet this ordinary country girl was proposed to by John Haward, a lawyer from London. After marrying Mr. Haward, she moved to Baker Street in London. Six months later, Mr. Haward died, leaving her a young, beautiful widow with an annual income of two hundred pounds. Of course, none of that was a problem. It would have been even better if Mr. Haward's real name hadn't been John Clay. After her husband's death, Jane discovered that a number of... strangely elusive men of unknown origins had suddenly appeared in her life. Our heroine has a knack for attracting mentally unstable criminals. To survive in nineteenth-century London, where crime is rampant, she'll need a little candy and a whole lot of luck. Edward Mordrake: I'm sorry I frightened you. Jane: Look, lots of people in this world are not what they seem. You simply brought the fact that you have another face into the real world. . .
