The Lyon's Nemesis

He must save his earldom—or risk losing everything in a high-stakes game.

Short-tempered and teetering on the edge of ruin, Lexington Capel, the Earl of Essex, must marry—not for love, but for a dowry. His only hope lies with London’s infamous matchmaker, and gambling-den doyenne, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon. But on his journey to engage her services, Lex is waylaid by the notorious highwaywoman known as the Lace Bandit—a masked beauty whose daring and defiance he cannot forget.

She harbors a secret that, if revealed, could lead her to the gallows.

Lady Edwina Sinclair, last surviving heir to her family’s baronetcy, leads a double life as a modern-day Robin Hood. When she robs the wrong man—a dangerously intriguing earl—her carefully spun world begins to unravel. Forced to London by her formidable grandmother to make a respectable match, Winnie must keep her identity hidden from both the ton and the ever-watchful Mrs. Dove-Lyon.
