Jack Turner grew up in the darkness of London's slums, born
into a life of crime and willing to do anything to keep his
belly full and his siblings safe. Now he uses the tricks and
schemes of the underworld to help those who need the kind of
assistance only a scoundrel can provide. His distrust of the
nobility runs deep and his services do not extend to the
gorgeous high-born soldier who personifies everything Jack
will never be.
A soldier untarnished by vice
After the chaos of war, Oliver Rivington craves the safe
predictability of a gentleman's life-one that doesn't
include sparring with a ne'er-do-well who flouts the law at
every turn. But Jack tempts Oliver like no other man has
before. Soon his yearning for the unapologetic criminal is
only matched by Jack's pleasure in watching his genteel
polish crumble every time they're together.
