The Darkest Sin

Book excerpt: Desperate Deceptions Lord James Rushford is the only man in London who can lead Rowena Woolcott to the villain who has been tormenting her family for years, and she will stop at nothing to enlist his help. Even if she must pretend to play a dangerously enticing role: his mistress. Shadowed Secrets Rushford has demons of his own-a dark past that haunts his memories. Yet the temptation that Rowena presents is more than he can resist. Relentless Desire Claiming to be lovers should not be so easy-or feel so achingly appealing. But as Rushford ushers Rowena through London's most elite clubs and sinister underworlds, truth and fantasy blur. And as the threat to Rowena grows near, the masquerade of passion begins to feel startlingly real. . . "A finely wrought tale, rife with twisting secrets and dangerous hungers. Exquisite!" -Sylvia Day on The Deadliest Sin
