There are times when being broken isn’t the hinderance one has always assumed. It’s a strength.
Harold—Harry—Briggs, Earl of Hedgecomb, is one of the last members of the Rogue’s Arcade who remains a bachelor. Coming home from the war not quite right in the mind has meant he’s consigned himself to being alone, until one unforgettable night in Covent Garden where he meets a woman who quickly sends his life upside down. The fly in the ointment is the fact she’s off limits since she’s the sister of a fellow club member.
Lady Theresa Bollinger—sister to the Earl of St. Vincent—is thirty and unmatched. One horrible and quite secret incident in her past has made her wary of getting close men, but she still hopes for romance. During an outing to a night circus in Covent Garden, she wanders into the dark section of the area, alone with her thoughts, but when she comes upon one of her brother’s friends in a vulnerable state, she takes control of her fate by unashamedly stealing a kiss from him as a distraction.
Heated attraction and desire collide as they chase scandal in the dark. Afterward, an engagement is demanded by her brother, and further proximity between them is forced, for a villainess who has declared war against the Rogue’s Arcade sends a letter saying a friend of Theresa’s—the Duke of Lockwood���s youngest sister—has been kidnapped and will only be returned in exchange for a rare, and quite missing, ruby and diamond necklace. As time—and circumstances—race against them, Harry and Theresa will need to dig deep for bravery and strength, else everything they hold dear will be lost.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
