"Your philandering ways need to come to an end. I'll not have my heritage die by your foolish neglect." Lord Jonathan Cromford, Earl of Lindsey, is not surprised by his cold-hearted late father's will and the numerous conditions for claiming his inheritance. But requiring that the rogue first produce an heir is beyond the pale. Still, there was nothing for it but to sacrifice his desires for the sake of his well-being. Temporarily, at least. Yet when Lindsey accidentally meets Lady Caroline Nicholson, he finds that his life is suddenly full of the unexpected . . .
Recently returned to London from Italy, Caroline won't allow the questionable circumstances of her family's hasty departure to overshadow her desire to marry well. With the help of her society-savvy cousins, she intends to be engaged before the season ends. But even her best laid plans do not prevent her from becoming tongue-tied upon meeting legendary rakehell, the Earl of Lindsey. She can only hope their instant attraction won't devastate her future, much less her reputation. Still, as chemistry and fate throw them together, both Caroline and Lindsey may have to choose between comfort and pleasure, fear and truth, security and risk . . .
"Those who enjoy headstrong heroines will appreciate [Amelia's] story."
—Publishers Weekly on London's Wicked Affair

Bryant pairs a rakish earl with a lady searching for a respectable husband in the tantalizing fourth Midnight Secrets Regency romance (after London’s Late Night Scandal). After Lady Caroline Nicholson spies Lord Jonathan Cromford, Earl of Lindsey, in a scandalous tryst with another lady, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the handsome earl. Lindsey has a reputation as a rake uninterested in marriage, but to obtain his inheritance, he must fulfill the conditions set by his deceased father to “produce a legitimate heir.” Less disagreeably, his father’s will also tasks him with “restoring the fiscal solvency of the earldom” by recovering three valuable paintings that were stolen from the family. Lindsey’s quest to steal back the paintings throws him together with Caroline at art gallery openings and season events. Their instant romantic tension evolves into stolen kisses, but Lindsey is content to avoid marriage as long as possible, and Caroline worries she will not be able to fulfill the conditions of Lindsey’s inheritance as she fears an old injury may have left her unable to get pregnant. Lindsey’s evolution from a devil-may-care rogue into a man willing to risk his inheritance for the woman he loves makes him a hero readers will adore. With seamless plotting and scintillating romance, this fast-paced love story keeps the series going strong.
