Loretta Chase, The Last HellionA ferocious conflict of wills...
Vere Mallory, the Duke of Ainswood, has everything - he's titled, he's rich, he's devastatingly good-looking and he seems determined to throw it all away. Disreputable, reckless, and wild, the last of the Mallory hellions is racing headlong to self-destruction ... until a mind-numbingly beautiful blonde Amazon knocks him off his feet - literally.
An incendiary passion ...
Lydia Grenville is dedicated to protecting London's downtrodden. Dissolute noblemen like Ainswood are part of the problem, not the solution. She would like him to get his big, gorgeous carcass out of her way so that she can carry on with her work. The problem is, Ainswood can no more resist a challenge, especially in female form, than he can resist the trouble she seems to attract.
If they can only weather their personal firestorm... they might survive the real danger that threatens all they hold dear.
