In Victorian London, an innocent woman out for revenge meets a detective who tempts her with midnight pleasures.
The wildest passion comes under the cover of night in Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel, the fourth installment in New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath's thrilling Scoundrels of St. James romance series.
Eleanor Watkins is on a quest to avenge her sister's death, and no one can stop her--no one but the strong, compassionate, and utterly irresistible inspector James Swidler . . .
Desperate for retribution, she stalks London's shadows with a dagger in her reticule--wholly unprepared for the Scotland Yard detective assigned to uncover her secrets.
Swindler vows to shield his reckless mark from danger--never suspecting how swiftly she will conquer his guarded heart. Between river rides and crowded ballroom waltzes, the street-wise inspector and the determined beauty surrender to midnight pleasures they can no longer resist.
- Romantic Suspense: From harrowing balloon ascents to midnight encounters in Cremorne Gardens, a deadly pursuit of retribution plunges an innocent lady into London's most dangerous circles.
- Enemies to Lovers: He is a Scotland Yard inspector hired to shadow her, while she sees him only as an obstacle to her vengeance--until a borrowed carriage and sweet rowing excursions reveal the wounded, tender man beneath his rugged scars.
- Found Family: Raised together as orphaned thieves under the kidsman Feagan, a fiercely loyal brotherhood including the Earl of Claybourne and gaming club proprietor Jack Dodger stands ready to protect their own at any cost.
- Forbidden Love: An impoverished country viscount's daughter and the son of a hanged thief must bridge the vast divide of British high society when an exclusive ball thrusts them into the glittering ton.
- Also by This Author: The Duke and the Lady in Red, Once More, My Darling Rogue and When the Duke Was Wicked.
