Under the pert pen name "Lady Smart," opinionated Lindsey Graham crusades for social change among London's elite, writing for the ladies' gazette Heart to Heart. But Lindsey's greatest campaign begins when her brother Rudy, a notorious rake, is accused of murdering a string of prostitutes.
Her confidence in his innocence is bolstered when an anonymous letter arrives naming Viscount Merrick as the killer. Lindsey launches her own investigation into the gentleman's questionable pursuits, a risky venture that earns her an unwelcome bodyguard—Thor Draugr.
At first, Lindsey refuses the protection of her employer's brother-in-law. They are like oil and water, yet she can barely conceal her attraction to the rugged Norseman. But an attempt on her life reveals not only the lengths that someone will go to in order to prevent her interference in the viscount's sordid affairs, but that she can no longer deny that she desires the warrior by her side. . . .
"Sparks fly and hearts are conquered in this sensual conclusion to a great trilogy." —RT Book Reviews

Lindsey Graham isunusual among women in London in 1944. She is an heiress and the editor of the womens section of the newspaper and a gossip columnist. Shehas no intention of marrying right away and, instead, enjoys the small freedoms she can take while her parents travel the continent. Thor Draugr works at the paper his brothers wife owns, trying to make his fortune in a landso strange compared to his isolated, Nordic island home. Thor and Lindsey are acutely aware of each other and deal with it in an antagonistic manner until Lindseys brother is questioned about the serial murders of prostitutes. Lindsey is determined to find the real killer, and Thor cant turn down his sister-in-laws request to watch out for her. They come to admire each other, but so many obstacles are in their way. Martins romantic and intriguing romance-mystery isa fitting end to the engaging Hearttrilogy (Heartless, 2001; Heart of Fire, 2008).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
