Urgently on her way to the earl of Exmoor's estate, Nicola Falcourt's carriage is waylaid by a notorious highwayman known as The Gentleman. But there is nothing "gentlemanly" about the masked bandit's breathless kiss. The stranger believes Nicola is the wife of Richard Montford, earl of Exmoor, whom he despises and is intent on destroying. But he could not be more mistaken, for Nicola bears no love for the cruel earl who'd killed the only man she'd ever loved. Determined to uncover the rogue's real identity and his reasons for bringing down the earl, Nicola gets perilously close to him. But to save those she loves, she'll have to put all her trust in a man as dangerous as he is desirable.

Though Kyria Moreland is beautiful enough to earn the sobriquet 'The Goddess' and rich enough to attract London's most sought after gentlemen, she has yet to find love and refuses to marry without it. When she receives a strange package, she is confronted with danger, murder and a handsome American whose destiny is entwined with hers.

Their desperate need for each other has become less than discreet... Benedict Wincross appears in Camilla Ferrand's life as quickly as the gunfire pursuing him. Is he a kidnapper? A thief? Or worse? What has Camilla so innocently become part of? Though his name belies the fact, Benedict Wincross, Lord Rawdon, is obviously no gentleman. But Camilla realizes he may be just what she needs—a temporary fiancé to satisfy her family's worries. Benedict also needs something—an entrée into Chevington Park, Camilla's family estate, to conduct an undercover investigation into corruption—without Camilla's knowledge. They both have their own agendas, but nothing prepares them for the rash, reckless and dangerous tumble into love.
