From dueling at dawn to fighting at Waterloo, Jack Rigg,
Earl of Raleigh, has seen his share of danger. But now he
faces his greatest fear: wedlock by ambush. It began in
Paris, when he rescued an alluring cardsharp named Aurora
from a tavern brawl. In the safety of Jack’s rooms they
shared a passionate embrace. He never suspected their
compromising encounter would change his life
completely. . . .
The idea that a poor vicar’s daughter should marry Jack Rigg
might be amusing–if it weren’t so imperative. When she last
saw Jack, Ellie Hill was disguised as “Aurora,” indulging
her gift for gaming. Now she’s in trouble with the law–and
Jack is her alibi. She must hope he’ll be more of a
gentleman than he was to Aurora. But as they forge an
unlikely and increasingly amorous alliance, someone with a
deadly agenda wants to end their union before it begins.
