Runaway Rogue - Lille Moore

Protect the family; steal the emeralds; resist the heiress. And survive when she captures your heart...

To save his family's shipping empire from ruin, Ian Holt-the Devil of the Docklands-- must steal a legendary emerald necklace from his brother's bride: the alluring heiress Diana Rives. But when the groom vanishes hours before the wedding, Ian's carefully laid scheme explodes into a hunt for answers. And a dangerous temptation.

Diana Rives, the bride at the center of the storm, refuses to be sidelined in the investigation. From the gaslit back alleys of London's underworld to the glittering ballrooms of Monte Carlo, she entangles Ian in a treacherous battle of deception, complicated by a passion neither can deny.

As criminals and shadowy vigilantes close in, Ian realizes Diana is playing a far more perilous game than he imagined. Loving her could cost him his family, his future-and his heart. But walking away may be the one risk he cannot survive.

Darkly seductive and rich with intrigue, Runaway Rogue delivers Victorian glamour, high-stakes mystery, and a steamy forbidden romance.
