The Thief and the Rogue

How far would you run from an unscrupulous rogue to save your reputation?

Lady Katherine Hamilton is a free spirit—a child of nature who believes in of love at first sight. However, her dreams are derailed when she breaks into the duke's house on a mission of mercy.  She becomes embroiled in a scandal, and the perfect means for the darkly brooding duke to seek retribution for the crimes against him. 

Hunter's bitterness blinds him to her innocence, as much as her beauty blinds his reasoning.  To thwart his enemies and satisfy his own passionate yearnings, he forces her to marry him.  He has no idea she'll be the healing force his tortured soul has been searching for, or she'll become the target of the murderer he's been stalking. Will he admit the deep and everlasting love that sets his blood afire in time? Or will it be too late?
