Description
He never imagined he'd be the man he was born to be, or that one woman's faith in him would change his life forever…
When Carlton Guthrie, the Scoundrel of St. Giles, encounters a runaway bride, he offers to help her. Not out of kindness, but because she's the Earl of Hedgewick's daughter. Using Regina to exact his revenge on her father seems like the perfect plan. Until Carlton starts to fall for the innocent beauty.
Seeking refuge with a notorious crime lord was never part of Regina's plan. But in her blind attempt to escape the fate her parents have planned for her, options are limited. What she doesn't expect, is to pull aside Carlton's facade and find a tormented man who makes her feel safe and cherished – a man she could easily love, if he'll let her.

Saucy and sweet
5By painstreakedpinkThis book was no ordinary “Regency Romance”, it’s characters are two opposites that attract in the strangest ways. There’s also a bigger plot that will keep you on pins and needles, reading until you think you figure it out. It was a wonderful and intriguing book. A++Fun

5By LisanneHHe’s the Scoundrel of St. Giles. Regina is a young and proper lady. Who just found out she was to marry the very next day. But she couldn’t do it and ran. Carlton Guthrie is playing a long game. A complicated and precise game and Regina just fell into his clutches. Oh, and he’s got a cat. Only the best men have cats. Highly recommend.Loved the book
5By GallowaygirlyEnjoyed the story. Forced into a marriage to a 14 year old boy, Regina escapes the morning prior to her wedding and finds safety in St. Giles after being saved by Carlton from two street thugs. Carlton has his own agenda while she remains hidden from her family, trying to figure out what to do next. There are other minor stories which include kidnapping, human auctions and long ago murder being solved. The story is well written, entertaining and holds your attention. It is an unexpected love story that is a great read and .i would recommend this book.
