He must save his earldom-or risk losing everything in a high-stakes game. Short-tempered and teetering on the edge of ruin, Lexington Capel, the Earl of Essex, must marry-not for love, but for a dowry. His only hope lies with London's infamous matchmaker, and gambling-den doyenne, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon. But on his journey to engage her services, Lex is waylaid by the notorious highwaywoman known as the Lace Bandit-a masked beauty whose daring and defiance he cannot forget. She harbors a secret that, if revealed, could lead her to the gallows. Lady Edwina Sinclair, last surviving heir to her family's baronetcy, leads a double life as a modern-day Robin Hood. When she robs the wrong man-a dangerously intriguing earl-her carefully spun world begins to unravel. Forced to London by her formidable grandmother to make a respectable match, Winnie must keep her identity hidden from both the ton and the ever-watchful Mrs. Dove-Lyon. In a city of glittering salons and whispered scandal, fate draws two adversaries into a perilous dance. Reputation, revenge, and forbidden desire collide in The Lyon's Nemesis-where even the most cunning hearts may be undone by love.
