Too Wicked for Heaven

She made a deal with The Fox to save a life...
Lady Althea Ransome has been secretly infatuated with Lord Neville Blakely, the dangerously handsome Marquess of Foxworth, for years. But when her hot-headed uncle catches them in a compromising position on a ballroom balcony and challenges Nev to a duel at dawn, she knows exactly how this ends. Nev is a lethal crack shot; her uncle is... decidedly not.
Desperate to prevent bloodshed, Althea strikes a scandalous bargain: she'll spend the night in Nev's company—entirely innocently—if he agrees to forfeit the fight.
He's playing a much grander game...
Nev didn't come to the masquerade looking for a duel—he came looking for a wife, and he's set his sights firmly on Althea. The trouble is, an old feud means her uncle would sooner shoot Nev than grant his blessing. So when Althea walks into his parlor with her desperate proposal, Nev sees his golden opportunity: keep her under his roof long enough for her uncle to discover them, and the old man will be forced to demand a wedding instead of a duel. No seduction required. Easy, right?
But the best-laid plans of maids and men often go awry, and Nev's clever trap snaps shut on his own heart. When Althea uncovers his deception, her lifelong affection curdles into disdain, and she flatly refuses to be tricked to the altar.
Now, the infamous rake faces his most daunting duel yet: convincing the woman he deceived that his love is real—before he loses her forever.
