Never Love a Scoundrel

When the beast leaves his lair… Labeled a lunatic and a reprobate, Lord Jason Lockwood finds solace in debauchery outside the realm of Polite Society. Scarred both inside and out, Jason can't possibly hope to regain a place within the ton…until he meets an alluring and persuasive young lady. When she offers to help him reclaim respectability, he's tempted not by the possibility of a better reputation, but by the lure of seduction. With her by his side, he not only sees what he's been missing, but also how much he stands to lose. A beauty's touch provokes his desire… Lady Lydia Prewitt is everything a debutante should be: beautiful, dowried, and in possession of a sterling reputation. But Lydia's former life as a gossip has ensured a lonely path. When the opportunity to assist the scandalous yet seductive Lord Lockwood gain entry into London's best ballrooms, she glimpses a chance for a future she never dreamed of—if he's willing to meet her halfway. But how can she risk falling in love with a scoundrel if it means joining him in exile?
