About this ebook

London's most notorious rogue—decadent, depraved, forbidden

The ladies of the ton won't stop whispering about deliciously wicked Jack Dodger—once a thieving street urchin, now the wealthy owner of London's most exclusive gentleman's club. There's no pleasure he hasn't enjoyed, no debauchery the handsome scoundrel won't provide for the lords who flock to his house of carnal intrigue.

London's most virtuous lady—honorable, uncorrupted, and all too human

Olivia, Duchess of Lovingdon, would never associate with such a rogue. So when Jack is named sole heir to the duke's personal possessions, the beautiful, well-bred lady is outraged. Now, Olivia is forced to share her beloved home with this despicable man.

Caught between the devil and desire

But Olivia's icy disdain is no match for Jack's dangerous charm. His touch awakens desire. His kiss demands surrender. She will struggle to bar Jack from her heart . . . but her body, coveting divine release, will not let her bar him from her bed.

Love it... Haha the romance between Jack and Olivia, though less intoxicating than Luke and Catherine's, perhaps given their constant bickering at first (Olivia has a really sharp tongue), promises a fiery read! I have come to like Jack's character a lot :) his desire and love for Olivia happened so gradually and when it does blossom, it can be so insatiably hot, smouldering intense... Can't think!...trust Jack to judge Luke as a besotted fool, I think he is absolutely worse! I like the heroes better when they hold their urges stronger; it makes the release later more painfully pleasurable. In Jack's case, his hold is quite applaudable; shows his raw vulnerability; the same can be said for Olivia given the number of times she said no to Jack even as her traitorous body says otherwise (spoiler...the garden scene is truly epic).. . It is really sweet to see that Olivia can be so charming too if she relaxes... "I forbid you to make love to me.." lol... Their intimate scenes are so lovely

About the author

Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her novels have been recognized with numerous industry awards and have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
