Regina (Reggie) Spark has loved Broderick
Killoran, the resourceful and protective proprietor of the Devil’s Den, ever
since he saved her from the streets and made her his right hand at the
notorious gaming hell. For just as long, Reggie has never admitted her true
feelings for him. Nor has she revealed her spirited ambitions—to buck
convention and expectations and open a music hall.
While Broderick built his gaming empire
with ruthless cunning, his loyalty to his employees is boundless. So when he
learns of Reggie’s plan to leave his side and take charge of her own future,
the betrayal cuts Broderick to the core. He responds as he would to any
business rival . . . with swift retribution.
Instead of wilting, the savvy Reggie
rebounds with a fury that shocks Broderick and stirs a desire he’s been holding
in reserve for only ladies of nobility. But as their seductive battle of wills
ignites under the harsh spotlight of the London Season, secrets are exposed as
well—ones that could be ruinous in decent society but invaluable for the heart.
