Imogen Huxley was already questioning her decision to seek out a lover at a notorious brothel in order to secure her future, but never more so than after she witnesses a murder! She flees for her life with villains in hot pursuit and runs right into the strong arms of Oscar Fitzhugh, a mysterious club owner. She has no choice but to take his offer of protection while he tries to save her life from those pursuing her. The passion that comes with that protection is just a bonus.

Oscar Fitzhugh was at the brothel investigating the death of his former mistress. He’s one of the infamous by-blows of the Duke of Roseford, but he cut himself off from his family long ago. Now he lives his life, trying desperately to keep everyone around him at arm’s length. But Imogen is too intriguing not to protect and seduce.

Danger is at every turn, pleasure in each touch. But as they circle ever closer to a future that could be everything they’ve ever needed, the murderer looking for Imogen is also coming closer by the day. If he finds them, all will be lost.
