A sheltered heiress fleeing a loathsome fate. Lady Elvina Fowler refuses to marry her wastrel guardian, a man willing to go to villainous lengths in order to claim her inheritance. In desperation, she flees her home, hoping to find refuge in London. But the way is fraught with dangers, not the least of which is a charming but ruthless brigand who agrees to see her safely to town—for a precious fee. An irreverent crime lord who protects his own. Max Owen was born in the rookery and learned to survive by doing whatever necessary to keep what’s his. As a crime lord in London’s dangerous underworld, Max does not trust easily. And a runaway heiress has absolutely no place in his life. Yet, he can’t seem to shake the proud and impulsive beauty. And oddly…he doesn’t want to. A journey neither expected. A random meeting on the road to London leads to undeniable passion between a man who loves to break the rules and a woman accustomed to getting her way. It’s a battle of wills between these opposite but equal forces until an enemy from Max’s past threatens to destroy a future that’s barely begun.

My love of romance began one summer when I was thirteen and complained of boredom. I ended up with one of my mother's Barbara Cartland books and an obsessive interest that expanded from there. My affinity for writing began with sappy pre-teen poems and led to a Bachelor's degree with an emphasis on Creative Writing from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities. I love pizza, wine, and dark brooding heroes! With a husband, three kids, and two dogs at home, it can be difficult to find the time (and the motivation!) to write. But somehow the words keep showing up on the page. I am endlessly grateful to the many wonderful readers who enjoy my books and ask for more!
