Beth's Enemy Her Love

The most gorgeous man in all of the British Isles is also the most lethal. During the Victorian period of England in the great city of London there is always an expense to reimburse. As a young débutante, Elizabeth Montgomerie looks for a husband. She never believes she would come upon the man of her dreams at the lake near her family's country home. When she meets him, she never imagines her heart will be at risk—or for the man who steals her soul to be the one ordered to strike a deadly blow. Thaddeus DuBois has no difficulty fulfilling contracts directed his way by his father Count DuBois. Expecting to be the count's weapon whenever ordered, he's been trained to believe he has fewer scruples than the lowliest assassin. When he is ordered to take out his father's latest objective…he refuses to fulfill the assignment. Puzzled by his response to Beth's beautiful and curious nature, he does the only thing he can think of to keep her safe: he binds her to him body and soul. Elizabeth never expects to find herself wedded to the city's most dangerous killer, but something about Thad arouses a passion she's never felt before. As lines distort and allegiances change, Beth realizes Thad might own her heart after all…and she's not sure she can survive the consequences of loving him.
