From the dark and sensuous underworld to the gleaming halls
of society...another sizzling and edgy read from talented
author Alexandra Benedict.
Like an irresistible siren, the veiled dancer with the
bewitching green eyes lures dukes and earls down into
London's underworld to see her dance — and succumb to her
spell. Some say she's a princess, but only one man knows
her darkest secret.
She is Amy Peel, an orphan from the city's rookeries, and
she believes the bold rogue who unmasks her to be nothing
but a scoundrel — albeit a dangerously handsome one. He may
have rescued her from an attempted kidnapping, but she will
not give in to his sensual seduction or to the wicked
desire she begins to feel . . .
He is Edmund Hawkins, swashbuckling pirate turned reluctant
gentleman, and he will not let the lovely Amy slip through
his grasp, especially when he learns she's in greater peril
than she could possibly know. He will do everything in his
power to protect her — for this notorious scoundrel has
truly, unbelievably, lost his heart . . .
