Tess Starling is willing to risk everything — and offer anything — to avenge her father’s death.
Upon leaving her father’s gravesite, Tess spies creditors confiscating the finery of her first London Season. But her gowns will do little to satisfy her father’s debts. Fleet Prison awaits her. Tess dons a homely disguise, cloaking herself in mourning weeds. She is determined to evade the authorities until she brings to justice the swindler who ruined her father.
Resolute in her quest, she will transform anew, reinventing herself as a temptress to seduce the villain. She only wants for hands-on training, but the man who volunteers proves too much of a distraction. Everything about Tallon Hawkes, the Earl of Marcliffe, fascinates, including the battle scars marking his body. A motivated pupil, Tess yields eagerly to his sexual demands.
Long before he discovers the sensuous female beneath the layers of black crepe…long before he discovers the brilliant copper-colored tresses hidden by the ratty wig…long before he tastes the sweetness of her skin, Tallon Hawkes’ heart has been hooked. Tallon plays along with Tess’s scheme, but he is distrustful and jealous of her obsession with their shared enemy. Tallon is determined to bring her dangerous game to an end. But will his arrogant maneuver lose him any chance with Tess?
This book was previously published, but has been substantially revised and re-edited for Samhain Publishing.

The hero and heroine in this story are so loveble and the plot is very Suspenceful! I will be reading this again, despite the fact that the sex scenes were a bit more than I generally care for.
