The Best Kind of Chaos

He needs to find out her secrets…

Grayson Patterson, Lord Dervish, is the ultimate rake. He answers to no one and does as he pleases. He doesn't work at life, he plays…and he enjoys every minute of it. Helping the various government agencies extract information is something he considers a lark and does free of charge. But when he's called into a government office and told his beloved grandmother's life could be in jeopardy, by her chaperone no less, he sets out to do what he does best—seduce her chaperone until she reveals her secrets.

She wants peace and stability…

Finally settled and stable working as a chaperone, all widow Abigail Thompson wants is to take care of her precocious daughter Jemma. Her family long ago turned their backs on her, forcing her to forge her own path after losing her husband in the war. She definitely doesn't need her companion's grandson showing up, disrupting her perfectly sedate life, and encouraging her daughter's mischievous ways. She especially doesn't need the extremely handsome and charming Lord Dervish to show her what had been lacking in her marriage.

All he brings is chaos…

When Grayson realizes Abigail is innocent, in so many ways, he is too far gone…his heart well and truly belongs to her. But Abigail has been burned once, and refuses to be made a fool of again, for what rake in his right mind would marry a woman with her past that has a child? Will he be able to convince her to trust him, not only to keep her and Jemma safe, but with her heart? Or will he lose her before he has the chance to prove to her that sometimes love is the best kind of chaos.
