All of London hunts for a treasure and unfortunately, one woman stands in the middle of it all.
Upon her father's death, Lady Irene Hiller inherited more than the duke's wealth.
She inherited his power.
She inherited his corrupt businesses.
And... she inherited more than a few of his enemies. As her world begins to unravel, there is only one man she'll allow to put it back together.
The man she's always loved.
The Marquess of Fawley.
Clive has never understood Irene's obsession with him.
He's a criminal.
One of the wild Lost Lords.
While many of the women in society admire him for his title as the Marquess of Fawley, Irene who manages to not only see inside his soul, but touch it in the most intimate way.
But ... that doesn't mean he has any intention of giving into the woman's wishes for love and happiness.
Guilt grants her his protection, but it will take more to gain his trust.
Not that his trust is worth much.
Can love overcome the secrets Clive hides?
Will the last Lost Lord find love?

Irene was one unique and amazing woman. When I first started reading about her I thought she was a bit rigid but that was so far from the truth. She had been taught by her father to accept nothing less than the best treatment, to never settle. But..she also had such a kind heart. And exceptional determination, especially when it came to Clive. Nobody and nothing could swerve her from her purpose. No, she wasn't necessarily a stalker but when it came to Clive, she took every opportunity that was opened to her.
Clive what a tortured man he was. Both by what he had done prior to being kidnapped and the many secrets he held now. He'd never really known love before. But he has known guilt, shame and a sense of worthlessness, even to this day. His mother was being controlled by his step-father even though she didn't know so much. He also controlled Clive to a certain extend because of his mother. The step-father was a thief, who made Clive do thefts from an early age and never even allowed him his own home which was his right. I also think that when Irene confronted him, she accidentally hit a nerve with him. I hope in a future book that will be revealed because I have my suspicions.
The rest of the Lost Lords and their wives have all gathered with Clive and formed their own family. It's a tight group of very interesting people.

The story had plenty of emotions, secrets, twists and surprises. I liked how things turned out for Clive and Irene.
