"My intentions toward you are quite dishonorable. The only promise I make is that there will be a great deal of pleasure for both of us...."
It was a dangerous time in London, as a murderous scoundrel called the Hook terrified rich and poor alike with his dastardly conquests. It was certainly not safe for Anne Fairhaven to walk darkened streets, even with a loaded pistol in her purse.
But desperation made one do reckless things. Anne's young daughter had been stolen from her in a vicious act of vengeance. And with a mother's unyielding love, she vowed to reclaim her child.
Such dire need forced her back into the glittering society she hated. She was willing to risk her life and even dance with the devil himself--the Marquis Mandell, a callous, cynical libertine with night-dark eyes and full warm lips that could tempt an angel to sin.
Though playing the hero was rare for a man cast in a villain's role, Anne stirred something in him that he believed lost long ago. As intrigue and peril lay devious traps, two lost souls discover that somewhere between heaven and hell, there is love....

From Library Journal:
A quiet, refined widow who will do anything to regain custody of her young daughter; a wickedly dangerous hero tormented by memories of his mother's brutal murder during the Reign of Terror; and a city paralyzed by a swift and silent murderer known only as The Hook are the key ingredients in this well-crafted historical set in London during the Regency period. Vivid description, sexual tension, and believable characters enhance this story, which provides glimpses of the darker side of Regency life as well as the glittering social whirl of the ton (society). Carroll's previous romances include The Valentine's Day Ball (Fawcett, 1994).
