A riotous passion and a forbidden love jeopardize the
future of the Emperors of London . . .
Ravishingly beautiful and accomplished, Helena has her pick
of suitable bachelors—and because she is the only daughter
of a powerful duke, her mother is determined she makes a
good marriage. But Helena won't marry any of them, because
she is in love with the son of her family’s most dangerous

is resolved to win him back—no matter the cost.
Tom’s forbidden love for Helena has only intensified over

roots has changed everything. His secret spells danger for
his family and everyone he loves. Devoted to Helena, he will
sacrifice anything—even his one great love—to keep her safe.
And soon, caught between warring factions and hounded by a
deadly assassin, the couple will be swept back together in a
fight for their lives, and their destiny…
