London, 1890. In Victorian London, reporter Jennie Quinn employs deception as a weapon. Going undercover to seek justice for a murdered informant, sheβs drawn into a powerful criminalβs seductive game of cat and mouse. Enigmatic former lawman Matthew Colton is as dangerous as he is clever, but the passion in his kiss is too tempting to resist. She aches to trust him, but she will not abandon her quest for the truth.
Colton is a man with secrets of his own. Thirsting for vengeance, the disgraced Scotland Yard detective has infiltrated the criminal world heβs vowed to destroy. Jennie intrigues him, even as she breaks down the barriers around his heart. He yearns to uncover her secretsβin and out of his bed. Driven to shield her, heβll risk everything to protect the woman whose love heals his soul.
