A roguish earl. A desperate lady. One scandal that could destroy them—or bind them forever. Edward Hallworth, notorious for his charm and his disinterest in marriage, never meant to become a hero. But when a breathless young woman seizes his arm in Hyde Park, begging for protection, instinct and curiosity propel him into a storm of secrets. The lady in question, Miss Lydia Ashby, carries a past she cannot reveal and a pursuer who will stop at nothing. Drawn together by circumstance and danger, Edward and Lydia agree to a reckless arrangement. One that will test his jaded heart and her fragile trust. But passion has a way of rewriting intentions, and soon the line between pretense and desire begins to blur. A Reckless Arrangement, where rescue becomes temptation, and a single plea for help sparks a love neither expected.
