Archer Tierney has devoted his life to becoming one of the most powerful men in London.

He's cutthroat and merciless to anyone who crosses him and ruthless in his determination to always maintain the upper hand over friends and foes alike. There's no situation he can't control, no battle he can't win. Until one fierce woman enters his carefully guarded world, leaving danger and desire in her wake and bringing Archer to his knees.

Princess Anastasia St. George has lived beneath the tyrannical influence of her villainous uncle for ten long years. Her quest to find her exiled brother, the rightful heir to the throne, leads her directly to Archer Tierney. He's cold, he's calculating, he's handsome as the devil. And there's something about him she just can't resist.

When the desperate princess offers him priceless crown jewels in exchange for his help to find her long-lost brother, Archer accepts. It's her second, far more sinful proposition and its infinitely appealing reward, however, that tempts him most. But Anastasia is about to enter an arranged marriage, and a future between a wicked rogue and a royal princess is impossible. Even if Archer's foolishly stubborn heart tells him otherwise…

Heat level: Scorching hot! Don't say you weren't warned.
