It had been the moment Elwood Tyburne, the Earl of Belmont, had been dreading for months. Ever since that Brazen Belle and her dastardly, Rake Review had started wreaking havoc upon all of his friends and acquaintances—some of which were wrongly accused—he had been in a state of panic. While Elwood would admit that he was a scoundrel, he didn’t care to have the finger of justice pointing directly at him, turning him into some kind of twisted man of prominence, where he couldn’t walk down the street without being heckled. He despised the attention, especially when he hadn’t done anything—lately. In truth, he’d been doing his best to lay low. He hadn’t gone to his favorite gaming hells for weeks, and gone so far as to dare to give up his favorite mistress. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem that the intrigue was going to die down anytime soon, and it appeared he was about to have additional trouble in one tenacious lady…
Meliah Newton is on the search for the elusive Earl of Belmont. She has a dream to become a respected journalist, just like the Brazen Belle. She’s convinced that if she could prove that Lord Belmont is a complete ne’er-do-well, she would finally get the recognition she has been longing to obtain. To her dismay, the man seems to be more of a challenge than she expected, but she has never been the sort to give up lightly, and she perseveres, finally cornering the rat in his hole. What she hadn’t expected from all this was her flaming attraction to him, nor the way her body melts under his expert touch. She knows he’s only trying to seduce her away from him, but it's only drawing her closer.

When it comes to revenge, it is a dish best served… steaming hot.
Carmia McDougal is a woman scorned. She met Thame Forrester by chance. He was visiting his uncle’s hunting box in Scotland and their paths crossed. It was love at first sight for both of them. At least, that’s what she thought. When they were due to meet at the altar, he never arrived. Instead, she was told that he’d returned to London, and that their brief, romantic affair was nothing but a lark. As a long-standing wallflower, Carmia decides that she’s not going to take such a slight, so she gathers up her courage and travels to confront the scoundrel, all while making her retribution sweeter than honey…
The moment Thame Forrester’s path crossed with Carmia, he immediately found the enchanting, Scottish lass to be irresistible, but he realized he was being selfish by dragging her into a world that demanded so much. English society was much more proper and stricter than she was used to enduring. Although it broke his heart to leave the titian-haired beauty, he decided that she would get over him soon enough—until she arrives in London and uses her charm to win over everyone she meets. Thame realizes he’s made a terrible mistake, that she is more than capable of handling any obstacle that comes her way, but he fears their time has passed. However, he is just as determined as his fiery counterpart and when it comes to love, he isn’t giving up the battle lightly.
