A series of murders. A dangerous criminal empire. And a woman intent on Adrian Croft's destruction.
Adrian Croft never wanted the criminal empire he was destined to inherit. He dreamed of leaving London behind, settling down, and raising a family far from a life of crime. But when tragedy destroys everything he hoped for, revenge becomes the only thing that matters.
Samantha Carmichael has been trained for covert operations as part of a secret government program. Her mission is to gather the evidence needed to bring London's most powerful man to justice.
Adrian is her target. But falling for him was never part of the plan.
As danger closes in and their paths become increasingly entwined, Samantha must choose between duty and the man she was supposed to destroy.
Murder. Espionage. Revenge. Forbidden love. A Regency romance like no other.
