Nine years after murdering a man and being sentenced to prison, Nicholas Warring, earl of Ravenworth is a free man. He is also a notorious rogue, a man they call the Wicked Earl. Even worse, he is Elizabeth 's guardian. Aware of the Earl's reputation, the last thing she wants to do is ask him for help, but she's desperate.
