A rogue ruined . . .
He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her
wedding. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over
the darkest of London's corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful,
but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the
one thing he's dreamed of . . . absolution.
A lady returned . . .
Mara planned never to return to the world from which she'd run, but when
her brother falls deep into debt at Temple's exclusive casino, she has
no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to
society and proving to the world what only she knows...that he is no
killer.
A scandal revealed . . .
It's a fine trade, until Temple realizes that the lady--and her
past--are more than they seem. It will take every bit of his strength to
resist the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to
risk everything for honor . . . and to keep from putting himself on the
line for love.
