So when an attacker threatens her life, she finds safety in the most unseemly of places– the arms of a mysterious, Irish–American gang leader.

His fortune stolen, young Matthew Milton is done playing the respectable gentleman. In the slums of New York, only ruffians thrive.

Lord Nathaniel James Atwood doesn't believe true love exists. Since scandal tore him away from his family at an early age, he has spent his life fighting for what he wants. That attitude has made him a rising star in bare–knuckle boxing, and now leads him back to London to reclaim the life that was stolen from him. But upon meeting the innocent Imogene, his beliefs are trounced…as guarding his heart against her proves to be the fight of his life.

Now Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life he never knew existed.

Lady Augustine Jane Ascott longs for a man who will do more than offer his hand in marriage. She wants a husband she can trust, someone who will shield her from the darkness of the world. Her heart was broken when her little brother was kidnapped years earlier, and she still carries the pain of his loss.

When the handsome Duke of Wentworth makes his feelings for her known, Augustine's past demons warn her away. Besides, every woman in London knows he's devoted to the memory of his late wife. But is it possible he cares for her after all–and that their love can bring them the peace they both crave?

To convince her to once again believe in the magic of love and the promise of desire will be his greatest challenge yet. And one he cannot fail!

When a raven–haired beauty arrives as his new neighbour, he knows better than to succumb to the desire he feels. If only he had never glimpsed the vulnerable beauty one fateful night. If only her lips were not so ravishingly red. If only it were not already too late to save them both from the untamed passion he is about to unleash in the name of love.
