A rogue ruined .

He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe within the eve of her wedding. With no memory of this fateful night time, Temple offers reigned over the darkest of London’s sides for twelve years, rich and powerful, but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, providing the thing he’s imagined . . . absolution.

A female returned . . .

Mara planned never to go back to the globe that she’d run, but when her brother falls deep into debts at Temple’s exclusive casino, she has no choice but to provide Temple a trade that leads to her returning to society and proving towards the world what only she has learned…that he’s no killer.

A scandal revealed . . .

It’s an excellent trade, until Temple realizes the fact that lady-and her past-are more than they seem. It will take just of his power to withstand the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to risk everything for honor . . . and to keep from putting himself at risk for love.
