SUMMARY

A DANGEROUS GAME

Heartbroken by the loss of her brother, Miss Leonora
Craven vows to
uncover the truth about his "accident," which seems to
have been
anything but. Jonathan Craven was involved with the Lords
of Anarchy, a
notorious driving club, and Leonora can’t help but suspect
foul play.
But the only way she can infiltrate their reckless inner
circle is to
enlist the help of Jonny’s closest ally, Lord Frederick
Lisle. If only
he didn’t also happen to be the man who broke Leonora’s
heart…

AN UNDENIABLE DESIRE

Frederick isn’t surprised to find gorgeous, headstrong
Leonora playing
detective, but he knows that the Lords of Anarchy mean
businessβ€”and he
has no choice but to protect her. A sham engagement to
Leonora will
allow Frederick to bring her into the club and along for
the ride. But
it isn’t long before pretending to be lovers leads to very
real
passion. With everything to lose, is their tempestuous
affair worth the
risk?
