Romantic Times’ K.I.S.S. Award, Best Historical Hero of the Year
A dashing con man on a mission of revenge…
Irishman Kier is on a mission of revenge, and the men who tried to destroy him are about to pay. He’s planned for everything...except the one woman who can bring the whole thing crashing down around him. The only woman he’s ever loved.
A woman in peril with secrets to protect…
Sophia Darnly is stunned by the sudden reappearance of the outlaw lover who abandoned her years ago. And furious. And desperate. Fleeing with a document that contains the most damning details about the wealthiest men in England, she’s hunted by dangerous men and has no choice but to do the most dangerous thing of all: step into Kier’s schemes.
...A game that could get them both killed
Time has not erased Sophia from Kier’s heart, nor tamed her fiery spirit. But he’s on a mission of revenge, and can’t allow even the woman he once loved to stop him.
When Sophia inserts herself into his plans, he has no choice but to join forces. Posing as a wealthy shipping widow and her agent, the duo set a trap for their targets, but the coals of their rekindled passion burn hotter than either of them could have imagined. When the villains close in, Kier’s going to have to decide which matters more: his mission of vengeance, or the woman who’s stolen the heart he never thought he had.
