Der Überraschungserfolg aus den USA – Sarah MacLeans frecher Debütroman! Was darf ein Gentleman nicht alles, was einer Dame verwehrt ist: leidenschaftlich küssen, fechten, im Herrensattel reiten, einem Duell beiwohnen… Lady Calpurnia Hartwell beschließt, ihr langweiliges Leben zu ändern und all diese Männerfreuden zu genießen – natürlich heimlich! Am liebsten mit Hilfe des unwiderstehlichen Gabriel St. John, Marquess of Ralston, für den ihr Herz seit Jahren heimlich schlägt. Und welch Wunder: Gabriel erklärt sich als Lehrmeister bereit, wenn sie dafür seine Schwester eine Saison lang begleitet. Mit seinem leidenschaftlichen Kuss beginnt für Callie ein skandalöses Abenteuer …
Seit der Duke of Marwick einst ihre Liebe verriet und sie um ihr rechtmäßiges Erbe brachte, sinnt Grace auf Rache. Jetzt ist der Moment gekommen: Mit klopfendem Herzen steigt sie die Stufen zum geheimen Hinterzimmer ihres Etablissements hinauf, hinter dessen Tür der Duke verletzt im Bett liegt. Aber statt sich einen letzten Kampf mit ihm zu liefern, kann sie nicht widerstehen, als er sie wenig später mit einem hungrigen Kuss überrascht. Und beim Blick in seine um Vergebung flehenden braunen Augen fragt sie sich jäh: Ist er doch nicht so skrupellos wie gedacht? Oder lässt sie sich gerade erneut von ihm das Herz brechen?

New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hell's 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 peculiar...and doesn't know she's one of the Hell's Belles--a 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 isn't peculiar...she's pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn't agree more...and 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 lady's 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 Imogen's world, full of her bold smiles and burning secrets...and a fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.
