The
League of Rogues takes what they want—but have they taken on too much?
For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the
whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive
business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is
simple—find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books.
It seems an easy enough plan, until she is
unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind
flashing green eyes.
Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless
nights at the club with his four best friends, and relishes the rakish
reputation society has branded him with. He has no plans to marry anytime
soon—if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler’s niece, the difficult
debutante’s blend of sweetness and sharp tongue make him desperate for the one
thing he swears he never wanted: love.
Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in
Godric’s shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard—and rob him of the
woman he can’t live without.
Warning: This novel includes a lady who refuses to
stay kidnapped, a devilish duke with a dark past, and an assortment of charming
rogues who have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into.
