"I am not here for games," Silas rasped. Genevieve's smile was dangerous. "Then leave, Your Grace. My secrets aren't bought with gold. They are bought with your name."
When a scandalous letter threatens to shatter the pristine Rutherford legacy, Silas Rutherford, the Duke of Ayston, is forced to descend into the filth of Covent Garden. To unmask a ruthless blackmailer, he must strike a devil's bargain with the one woman the ton has cast into the shadows.
He is the "Saint of St. James," a man of iron-clad morality and icy restraint. She is the fallen lady of the Faro tables, a social pariah who knows every dark secret the city hides.
A vow of convenience binds them, but the safety of a ducal title cannot shield Genevieve from the searing heat of Silas's gaze. As they navigate the smoke-filled gaming hells and rain-slicked alleys of London, their cold tactical alliance begins to bleed into a forbidden, bone-deep desire that threatens his legendary control.
"You were supposed to be my guide through the dark, Genevieve-not the light I can no longer live without."
With a predator tightening the noose around their necks, Silas must decide what matters more: the unblemished honor of his name or the woman who has finally cracked his marble heart. In a world built on lies, their truth might be the only thing that saves them-or the very thing that ruins them forever.
