![]() ![]() Mara has more at stake than her brother’s fortune, but given Temple’s angry reception of her, she can’t trust him with her secrets, even as she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic outcast. Understandably angry, Temple decides on another path, one that will ruin Mara once and for all. Mara’s brother has lost everything to the Fallen Angel, and she promises to re-enter London society and prove Temple is innocent in exchange for debt forgiveness. One dark night, Temple is approached by none other than long-lost Mara Lowe, assumed dead at Temple’s hands. Members of the club may petition for the opportunity to challenge the undefeated Temple in the boxing ring if the challenge is accepted and the patron wins, all of his debts will be forgiven. Under a cloud of suspicion of murder, the marquess was banished from his family and from polite society, resurrecting himself as Temple, first a street fighter, then a partner in the Fallen Angel, the exclusive London casino. ![]() Twelve years ago, William Harrow, Marquess of Chapin and heir to the dukedom of Lamont, woke up on the morning of his father’s wedding to find that he was in the would-be bride’s bed, along with an astonishing amount of blood, and that the lady herself was nowhere to be found. A duke who has lived under the shadow of suspicion for a murder he’s not sure he didn’t commit holds the possibility of redemption in his hands when the lady reappears, alive and well, though she brings other threats-to his equilibrium and to his heart. ![]()
