A mysterious Lord’s secret admirer discovers the truth behind his rakish reputation in this “magic-infused . . . uniquely entertaining” Regency romance (Booklist, starred review).
They say he’s a shameless rake who cares for nothing but pleasure, a rogue who spends his nights in London’s lustiest locales, gambling and carousing until dawn. But Lady Hermione Marlowe refuses to believe that the handsome gentleman she’s loved from afar for so long could be so wicked. If only she had a way to prove to the ton that Lord Rockhurst is as proper as the rest. If only she knew what he really did under cover of the night . . .
Lord Rockhurst knows what they say about him, and he doesn’t care. Only he knows his true purpose, his dangerous mission. But when a mysterious woman falls into his arms—and thereby saves his life—Rockhurst will struggle to save his secret. Who is this creature with such tempting curves and an enticing touch? Rockhurst can only wonder how he can trust her . . . for he knows he cannot resist her.
