Ruthless with a Rogue

Stealing a marquess’s clothes is just part of the equation.

Miss Olivia Forester is calculated, tenacious, and has never met a math problem she can’t solve. Love, on the other hand, is an equation she can’t seem to crack. Determined to show her childhood sweetheart she is worthy of his love, Livy ventures to London to prove she is more than a poor baron’s daughter. All she must do is ascend to the upper echelons of society. When she stumbles upon the influential Marquess of Dunmore, she knows he is the key to accessing the coveted circles of the ton. And how does one gain the assistance of a powerful Lord? By stealing his clothes, of course.

Scoundrel Roderick Blackwood, the Marquess of Dunmore, hasn’t met a line he won’t cross—blackmail, murder, seducing a virginal unmarried miss. Life has never granted him any favors, so why should he offer any in return? Obsessed with control, Derek lives strictly by the rules he has set for himself, the most important being: Never more than one night with a woman. When blue-eyed angel, Livy, falls into his lap asking for his assistance, naturally his answer is yes. His goal? One more woman in his bed. But he never imagined agreeing to this bargain would put his rules, and his heart, at risk.

As each seeks to use the other, temptation—and unexpected love—flare. For love to triumph, Livy and Derek must dare to break their own rules… before their time together runs out.
