England, 1838. Gabriel Campbell, Duke of Lynford
never intended to carry that title, but when his reckless
brother gets himself killed in a duel over a woman, Gabe has
no choice. Now he’s sworn off love, blaming the woman that
broke his brother’s heart and led to his untimely death.
Lilith Crisp, Lady Thornton, knew from a young age that
pretty girls grow up and get married off to the highest
bidder. Being paraded around London as her husband’s trophy
has taught her some unique skills and now she can manipulate
any man for his darkest secrets.
Gabriel's position in the Brotherhood of the Sword leads him
directly to Lilith’s door. For Gabe, Lilith is the one woman
he’s always wanted, and Lilith is now forced to deal with a
man who seems immune to her charms. But a secret about
Lilith’s niece brings them together to face a danger that
threatens not only their lives, but the fate of England’s
Crown. Resisting Lilith is getting more and more difficult
and Gabe finally recognizes that he can’t keep blaming her
for his brother’s fate. Finding love means forgiving the
past and that might be the one thing they simply can’t do…
