A rescued rogue . . . Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary. A captivating captor. . . Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger—and a passion neither can resist.

The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long is quite the interesting tale of a man who is a bit of a celebrity who has been wrong convicted of murder and the only one could save him has conveniently disappeared. Colin Eversea has resigned himself to being hanged so imagine his surprise when he is resc...
This was the perfect read for my day today, which was lounging by the pool. Colin and Madeline have a unique story between them, something I have never seen in a historical romance (yay! unique plots!). He is almost hanged. She helps him escape. They set off on a quest to find out what happened.I tr...
Madeleine Greenway might be my favorite Regency-era heroine ever. Lots of romances feature plucky, spunky, opinionated heroines, but never have I come across one as independent, as skilled, as smart, and as competent as Mrs. Greenway. This book is chock full of dramatic tension to make readers fee...
