Description:
They're rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards—dark, dashing men on the wrong side of the law. But for the proper Victorian-era ladies who love them, a hint of danger only makes their hearts beat faster...
A scandalous proposal.
As one of London't most elite hunters, Christopher Argent never misses his mark and always gets his man. But when his latest target turns out to be a woman—the popular, and stunningly beautiful, actress Millie LeCour—it turns his whole world upside-down. Overwhelmed by the heat that simmers between them, Christopher can't complete his mission. On the contrary, he'll do anything to save Millie's life—even if it means risking his own...
A dangerous passion...
When she learns what Christopher was hired to do, Millie is torn between the fear in her heart and the fire in her soul. Putting herself in this dangerous man's arms may be her only path to safety—but giving in to her desire may be the deadliest mistake she's ever made. With both of their lives in jeopardy, Millie and Christopher must learn to trust the real feelings they're hiding—to find the true love they're looking for...
My Thoughts:
The prologue is brutal. Ripped my heart out. This is one of those books that you have to put that down in process for a few minutes before you can start the next chapter. After reading The Highwayman I thought I knew what I was getting into. This just grabs you and makes you need to know how everything turns out. Christopher Argent is an assassin. Millicent LeCoer is an actress and mother. He has a contract to kill her but finds he can't do it. She is attracted to him before she learns that he is supposed to kill her. How can a killer learn to love? That's what it comes down to and it is so good, even through the tears.
My Rating: *****
