THE DANGEROUS LORD: Ian Lennard, Viscount St. Clair, is London's most eligible—and dangerous—bachelor. When notorious gossip columnist "Lord X" hints at his scandalous past and destroys his marriage prospects, Ian uses his skills as a former spy to hunt down the meddling scoundrel. To his shock, the sharp-witted Lord X proves to be Miss Felicity Taylor, a penniless gentleman's daughter who supports her four younger brothers. Felicity intended to protect her friend from a heartless rake, not send her eloping with a steward. Now she finds herself trapped on a moonlit balcony with the furious viscount demanding satisfaction. Ian's solution is as audacious as it is wicked: since Felicity cost him a bride, she can bloody well become one herself. But Ian never bargained for a woman who matches him wit for wit and kiss for scorching kiss. And Felicity discovers that beneath the viscount's dangerous reputation lies a man haunted by secrets that could destroy them both. In a battle where surrender means losing everything—including their hearts—only the most perilous gamble of all might win them a love worth any scandal...
