Perseguitato da un terribile segreto, Dorian, duca di Rath, vive divorato dalla rabbia e dai sensi di colpa. Disposto a sopportare qualunque tortura pur di espiare i propri peccati, accetta persino di sposare una perfetta sconosciuta—la sorella della sua vittima—per salvarne la famiglia dalla rovina. Quando Miss Patience Rose, botanica di professione, si presenta all'altare nel suo abito semplice e con le unghie ancora sporche di terra, porta con sé un raggio di sole capace di rischiarare il cuore annerito di Rath.

Lady Guinevere Darlington has spent the last five years trying to forget the beautiful rogue who stole her heart and then crushed it under his shiny black hessian. Humiliated by the blighter with the unforgettable brogue and left to weather the wagging tongues of the ton alone, she started a secret society that delivers justice to ill-intentioned rakes, and she managed to avoid having to wed - until now. But while her time is up, her determination is not. If she must take a husband, she’ll do so on her own terms.

Wed by proxy to a baron old enough to be her grandfather, Lady Anne trudges up the gangway of a galleon that will deliver her into the arms of a tyrant. Crestfallen, she believes her disastrous life cannot get worse - until she awakes to the blasts of cannon fire. Facing certain death, Anne trembles in her stateroom while swords clash and the chilling screams of battle rage on the deck above. When a rugged Highlander kicks in her door, she prays for a swift end.
