Book VII in the Lockwood series Delilah Hilthorne's life was golden before she met a haunting man, a man that was no gentleman. A man that her mother has always warned her about. Delilah Hilthorne has moved from London to Lockwood trying to fix her family back together after what they've been through. Her mother is persistent for her to marry and while she is fluttering her wings to marry, she is trying to find something that tore her family apart. James Knight, fearful man by all. The King of his ship, owning all across the seas as he wishes. He is on a search of his own, looking for what it is his and he will stop at nothing to get it. He is conniving, heartless, ruthless, and above all; a killer. Some say he doesn't have a beating heart, some say he is a possessed demon that needs to be locked away. What happens when he finds a red haired, golden girl sneaking upon his ship? No one would cross him, would they? Surely he would not kill her, right? Could this golden girl make his heart beat again? If you've seen a scandalous story before, you have not seen what this Buccaneer has up his sleeve.

Adonis Celts, the notorious monster who'd been rotting in prison for the past decade. Getting an interview with him just weeks before his release would be the story of a lifetime, and well worth the risk. With his hands cuffed and guards right outside the door, nothing could go wrong. Right? • • • "I've already explained I'm not afraid of you Mr. Celts. But it seems like you want me to be?" I retort. He leans forward in the chair, his face just a foot or two away from mine. The light flickers above us and it seems like a sign for me to shut the hell up. "Mmhm right. Well, maybe you have more nerve than sense then hm? Or you just don't scare as easily as the others." His jaw ticks slightly "But I can think of far better ways to get your heart racing. So no honey, fear is the last thing I want from a woman like you."

John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.
