A notorious scoundrel, the right Honorable Nicholas Bourne
has spent years in the East Indies amassing a fortune
through questionable means. Still, his loyalty to his
older brother, Langdon, and his childhood friends remains
true and trusted. But when Lady Sophia Southwell, the
woman promised to Nicholas’s brother, seeks his help on a
dangerous mission, he is troubled—and torn. Unable to
dissuade her from her quest to find a killer, he vows to
keep her safe. This makes his mission the hardest test of
his wits, honor, and skill. For Sophia is the secret love
of his life.
For years, Sophia has planned her daring act of revenge
against her mother’s killer. She has painstakingly
prepared herself by studying the criminal mind. Now she
knows that the moment is right and that Nicholas is the
man to help her. But she doesn’t count on the reckless
temptation of his rugged sensuality or the captivating
intensity in his deep eyes. When desire and emotion
intoxicate her as they venture together into the darkest
corners of London’s underbelly, Sophia must contend with a
yearning even more powerful than the quest for vengeance:
the call of love.
