Publisher's Synopsis
Once upon a time there was a very bad boy . . . Ethan Jagger will do anything to leave his criminal past behind and take his place as a gentleman in Polite Society. Success is within his grasp until his boss discovers his double cross and frames him for murder. As if running from the law and the outlaws wasn't bad enough, he must protect an innocent young lady from the very criminals who want him dead. Worst of all, though, is the dangerous attraction that sparks between them. If he can escape the hangman's noose and start anew, will she consent to love a scoundrel ever after? Who met a very nice girl . . . London only thinks of Audrey Cheswick as a wallflower-if they even think of her at all. She's tried to find satisfaction-if not happiness-as a spinster-in-waiting, though her intrepid spirit yearns for a grand adventure. But when she runs away with England's most wanted criminal, she learns adventure comes with a price-not just her reputation or her virtue, but her heart.
