He was her only hope—yet the most dangerous man she could trust.

When Lady Caroline Talcott’s carriage is ambushed on a lonely road, she barely escapes with her life—and a packet of government documents that must reach London at all costs. Injured, alone, and desperate, she has no choice but to enlist the help of a stranger: the notorious Earl of Davenport, a man whose scandalous reputation makes him the last person she should trust.

Deadly. Relentless. Cold as ice.

Jed Clearwater is one of the Unredeemables, an elite group of ex-Special Forces warriors who bonded in combat and promised to have each other’s backs forever. Or so he said…until he sold my brother Shane out for money.

He’s never looked at me, but I’ve wanted him since I was a child. I tracked the bastard down, to a maximum security prison. He knows where Shane was taken, and I’ll do anything to get that intel. Even seduce him…insofar as I can seduce a man who’s locked behind bars.

I hate that I still lust after my brother’s killer. I can’t even hide it. I might as well use these emotions I can’t control to get what I want. I’ll be safe enough. That hard, muscular body and those smoldering eyes will be behind bulletproof glass. He’ll be cuffed, shackled…controlled.

What’s the worst he could do?

Jamie Lathan is a formidable warrior, but when a Lathan kinsman is injured, Jamie's life depends not only on his legendary prowess with a sword, but on keeping a dangerous secret. Like his mother, Jamie wields the power of healing magic. From childhood, he knew that those skills, often feared in a woman, would be condemned outright in a man. Discovery could mean imprisonment or death, but Jamie soon learns that denying his compulsion to heal is to deny the very core of himself.
