London’s Most Notorious Scoundrel

Even infamous duelist and poet Vaughn Everard has qualms about dragging an innocent lady into his quest for revenge. But Imogene Devary is the daughter of the man suspected of murdering Vaughn’s uncle. Surely that makes her fair game

in order to uncover the truth!

Can the man who writes such moving verse be beyond redemption? Imogene can’t believe so. In taming Vaughn’s heart and healing the rift between their families, she’s sure she’s found her calling. Then his mission to unmask a killer reveals a terrifying plot. Only together can they safeguard his legacy, their newfound love...and England’s very future.

“My father seems quite vexed with you,”

Imogene whispered, trying to focus on her goal while her fingers kept moving over the keys of the piano. “Do you know why that might be?”

“I have never done anything to offend him,” Vaughn murmured back. “Why would he take me in dislike?”

She wished she knew. Vaughn Everard seemed the perfect fellow: clever, talented, handsome, charming. How could anyone take him in dislike? Certainly dislike was the farthest thing from her mind. “There’s some problem.”

“Can you arrange a meeting?”

“He’s so busy. I can’t be sure of catching him.”

“But won’t you try, for me?”

Her mother rose from her seat, wandered closer, eyes narrowing. Vaughn straightened.

“And now, the crescendo,” Imogene proclaimed, throwing herself into the music. She finished the piece with a flourish, and Vaughn Everard joined her mother in applause. But his head was cocked, his dark gaze on her as if he hadn’t truly seen her before.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

—Romans 8:28

To the heroes who leap without looking, trusting

in their skills and their Lord, especially Larry

and Edward; and to the Lord, who loves me

even when I look twice.
