Two seductive Scorpios, scarred by betrayal, battle their way to love

Captain Miles Trevelyan, on leave from active service in India, is heading out for a night on the town when he rescues a beautiful pickpocket from arrest. She's the perfect choice for a few days of dalliance -- beautiful, seductive, and completely disposable. Perfect for one last fling before he marries a boring, but suitable, bride.

But tough, street-wise Temperance Smith has no intention of becoming the plaything of a man who wears the uniform of the solders who murdered her lover. Disarming her rescuer with a provocative kiss that promises so much more, she slips away, leaving him humiliated -- and intrigued -- by a woman whose cunning is equal to his own.

Their abortive tryst awakens shameful desires that draw them into an obsessional affair, where moments of bliss alternate with terrifying betrayals. Until the fate of a stolen Indian jewel leads the lovers to a final confrontation that only the strongest love can survive.

With a dramatic plot that takes the lovers from the slums of St. Giles to the inner sanctum of soon-to-be crowned George IV, this second edition of the passionately emotional sequel to Jenny Brown's acclaimed astrology-themed romance, Lord Lightning, has been edited and improved to become the emotional tour-de-force it was always meant to be.

Perfect for fans of Laura Kinsale, Courtney Milan, and Mary Balogh.
