Bath, 1815

When a street thief steals her treasured heirloom bracelet, Sophie Stanton is willing to risk her reputation to get it back. Her search leads her from the genteel assembly rooms of Bath into a dangerous world she never knew existed. Sophie finds her bracelet and the thief, a young boy trying to save his sister from a life of prostitution

Vowing to save both children, she turns to the one person who can help: Simon, the Earl of Trask. Sophie secretly loves him, but he treats her like the grubby little girl he used to fight with years ago.

Sophie has been a thorn in Simon’s foot for as long as he can remember. She’s impetuous, outspoken, and prone to scandal, and he’s much too busy building his financial empire to waste his valuable time on her madcap schemes.

But when he realizes that Sophie’s dowry will provide him with the coal he needs to build his new factories, he’ll do whatever it takes to get it—including marrying her. But Sophie’s vow to save two street urchins threatens to derail his plans, and pulls her into a violent underworld of prostitution and crime. Simon must be willing to risk his empire and his reputation to save the one woman he soon realizes he can’t live without
