An American heiress wants one night of freedom before entering into a loveless marriage of convenience. Eliza Dove will only receive her inheritance if she marries a nobleman approved by her father, which is why she's engaged to a viscount, but while her fianc� is off gallivanting around Europe, she wants a taste of adventure, too. When she meets Simon Cavell, manager of a gaming club in Bloomsbury, she learns he's also a notable fighter in Whitechapel under the moniker "the Duke," a secret known by only a few. She threatens to expose his other identity unless he guides her through one night of exploring London's underbelly. Simon has been trying for years to get out from under the thumb of a crime boss to whom he's indebted so he can provide a better life for what little family he has left. He only has one more fight until he can walk away and doesn't wish to jeopardize that, but he finds it impossible to resist Eliza. After their excursion, they realize that just one night could never be enough for either of them. The pining between Eliza and Simon is dialed all the way up in this delicious romance, and the more they try to ignore it, the deeper they fall for each other. Their desires make them act in irrational, impulsive, and dangerous ways that create tension and excitement, while the circumstances of their lives and stations make for a believable barrier to their being together despite a strong emotional and physical connection. Their happy ending feels well earned and enticingly sets up the next book featuring Eliza's sister. A captivating and passionate romance between a pair who are completely besotted with each other.

It is only fair, of course. Eliza Dove's fianc�, Lord Mainwaring, is spending the summer abroad indulging in any number of activities, some of which can be mentioned in polite society and most of which cannot. As such, all Eliza wants is one night for herself, that she might enjoy the less-conventional corners of London before she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage of convenience. So, when Eliza stumbles across the secret of a Mr. Simon Cavell while exploring the Montague Club, it provides her with just the opportunity she needs. In exchange for keeping Simon's secret, Eliza insists that he accompany her on her little nighttime escapade. St. George (The Stranger I Wed, 2024) returns with another perfectly polished addition to her Victorian-set Doves of New York series that deftly illustrates her gift for creating memorable characters and her flair for turning steamy sexual chemistry into boldly sensual love scenes.
