Lady Elisa Seys is known to be mad. That doesn't mean she doesn't know what she's doing. Escaping from Bedlam was just the first part of her plan. Solving the murder that got her locked away is the second. Falling in love was not part of the arrangement, but where the heart led, her mind couldn't help but go. Lord Nicholas Childs had little desire to play governess to a madwoman whose enchanting spirit seems to glow in her eyes. He's a man who deals with the darker parts of Society. Death trails his wake. So, he knows trouble when he sees it, and Elisa is trouble with a capital T. Yet sadly, Nick's never been able to resist trouble. It's a game of trust, patience, and staying alive and, in the end, if they succeed, the reward will be sweet. But is love sweeter than vengeance? Can two people madly in love beat the odds?
