Mistakenly holding up the coach of the man who broke her heart is bad enough, but having to endure his sinfully alluring company all the way to Scotland is Daisy Hamiltonโs worst nightmare โฆ and her most secret desire.
ย
A midnight mishap.
ย
Daisy Hamiltonโs new mission for King & Co., London's premier private investigation firm, is simple: stop heiress Violetta Brand from eloping. But her case is derailed when she mistakenly holds up the carriage of Lucien Vaughan, Duke of Cranfordโcynical war hero, infamous libertine, and the very man who broke her heart five years ago.
ย
A reluctant road trip.
ย
Lucienโs determined to see his lovestruck nephew married to Miss Brand, but the unexpected appearance of Daisyโthe one woman heโs never been able to forgetโcould ruin his plans. As they follow the runaway couple together, Lucien decides that delaying the headstrong Daisy by any means possibleโincluding seductionโwill be his absolute pleasure โฆ and hers.
ย
A dangerous desire.
ย
After Daisyโs reputation is threatened, Lucien makes a scandalous claim, but when an unexpected enemy threatens her life, he realizes sheโs the only woman for him. Their past encounters have made Daisy almost as jaded about love as Lucien himself, and itโs going to take action, not words, to convince this knife-wielding hellion to risk her heart on him again โฆ
