Miss Polly Kent has no illusions about finding love. Not only is she a wallflower, but her freakish ability to read others' emotions has led to devastating rejection, time and again.
When it comes to her future, she knows that a marriage of convenience, one in which she can keep her secret affliction hidden, is the only safe choice. Yet, when fate throws her into the path of the ton's wildest rake, she discovers that desire can jeopardize the most carefully laid plans.
A rake who makes no apologies for his past
Sinjin Pelham, the Earl of Revelstoke and heir to a duke, has a reputation darker than London's fog. His exploits have made him the envy of men and the desire of women, but behind his wild and jaded façade lies a painful secret.
He knows that no woman can love the devil inside him, yet when he is accused of a ghastly crime, the only one who stands by him is a beautiful virgin - one whose wanton innocence makes him long for the one thing he cannot have.
When good and wicked make perfect
A marriage that begins with smoldering passion soon deepens into something more. All the while, a dangerous enemy lurks, waiting to strike. As Sinjin and Polly untangle the threads of mystery to clear his name, they must confront their greatest fears, risking all for their love and their very lives.
