New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hellâs Belles novel about a chaotic bluestocking and the buttoned-up detective enlisted to keep her out of trouble (spoiler: She is the trouble).
With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas and an unabashed love of experiments and explosives, society has labeled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiarâŠand doesnât know sheâs one of the Hellâs Bellesâa group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London.
Thomas Peck is not most of London. The brilliant detective fought his way off the streets and into a promising career through sheer force of will and a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isnât peculiarâŠsheâs pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldnât agree moreâŠand they know just the man for the task.
Thomas wants nothing to do with guarding Imogen. He is a grown man with a proper job and no time for the ladyâs incendiary chaos, no matter how lushly it is packaged. But some assignments are too explosive to pass up, and the gruff detective is soon caught up in Imogenâs world, full of her bold smiles and burning secretsâŠand a fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.
