Lady Sophia Barnes doesn't take no for an answer. Especially when she's
roaming London's seedy underground...dressed as a man.
A rabble rouser for justice, Sophie's latest mission is to fight for the rights of
the poor, the wretched--and the employees at Madame Hartley's brothel.
She's not concerned about the criminals who will cross her path, for Sophie
has mastered the art of deception--including the art of wearing trousers. Now
her fate is in her own hands, along with a loaded gun. All she needs is
instruction on how to shoot it. But only one person can help her: Lord Quint,
the man who broke her heart years ago. The man she won't let destroy her
again...
The last thing Damien Beecham, Viscount Quint, needs is an intrusion on his
privacy, especially from the beautiful, exasperating woman he's never stopped
wanting. A woman with a perilously absurd request, no less! For Damien is
fighting a battle of his own, one he wishes to keep hidden--along with his
feelings for Lady Sophia. Yet that fight is as hopeless as stopping her
outlandish plan. Soon all Quint knows for certain is that he will die trying to
protect her...
