Description

A proper widow and notorious rogue—London’s most shocking match.

A discovery in more ways than one...

Diana, the most proper lady in London, has grown restless. After joining an antiquities club for female scholars, she volunteers to write a newspaper column about traveling abroad to visit historical sites. Yet much to her dismay, Diana has been partnered with the rake Sebastian Devons, whom she loathes.

Sebastian, owner of London’s most notorious gentlemen’s club, engages in vice to forget a failed love. Needing a change, he agrees to partner with the antiquities club and is shocked to set sail with Diana, an annoying, intriguing, and familiar face.

As these two opposites sail away from the confines of England, their animosity simmers into something scandalous.

Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Flame line, so this is a scorching-hot read with open-door steam.
