The Sins of Shadowmere (Rotten Scoundrels Book 1)

When Miss Daphne Harland presses her lips to London's most dangerous man in the middle of a crowded ballroom, she believes she's the one setting the trap.

She isn't.

Desperate to escape a father who would sell her to the highest bidder and a future bound to a man old enough to be her grandfather, Daphne needs a scandal powerful enough to make her unmarriageable. Dominic Hawke—notorious, ruthless, and utterly untouchable—seems like the perfect instrument of her own ruin. One stolen kiss, one destroyed reputation, and she walks free.

But Dominic has been watching the Harland family for years, nursing a cold and carefully sharpened hunger for revenge over a tragedy that stole everything from him. Daphne's impulsive gambit hands him exactly the leverage he needs—a forced duel, a public reckoning, and a way to finally settle a debt written in blood. He plans to use her. Nothing more.

Neither of them plans for this.

Set against the glittering, treacherous backdrop of Regency London, *The Sins of Shadowmere* is a darkly atmospheric historical romance where two people wielding each other as weapons discover, with considerable inconvenience, that they've also managed to fall. Dominic's revenge was supposed to be clean. Daphne's escape was supposed to be simple.

Love, as it turns out, has never once cooperated with anyone's plans.
