"Last book of the Rogues of London trilogy is witty and steamy."

Lucas, Viscount Westmore, is a rake and a womanizer, proudly upholding his reputation even though his fellow rogues, Bathurst and Braxton, have been caught in the marriage trap. Sex is as necessary to Luc as breathing, and living on the edge of danger is exciting. But, something happens in London that makes him decide to flee to St. Ives in Cornwall, to uncomplicate his life and to give up sex for one full year.

The London tabloids are having a field day and bets are flying as to how long he'll last. Luc expects to emerge a better man at the end of his self-imposed exile. What he doesn't bargain for is meeting Bliss Hartley, a beautiful country girl who's impossible to resist and stirs emotions in this celibate man. She tempts him beyond redemption.

There are secrets in St. Ives. Things are not what they seem and strangers are looked at with suspicion and greeted with reserve. Luc stumbles upon a smuggling operation and fears for Bliss' life. What can he, what MUST he, do to keep her safe? Is it himself she'd be most wary of? Can this rogue live without sex for a full year?

Pick up this wonderful last chapter in the Rogues of London trilogy. It's fun, witty, steamy and pure reading enjoyment.
