In Book One, To Tempt a Saint, Xander Jones saves the life of the Prince Regent when a mob attacks his carriage at night in 1816. Though Xander is knighted for saving the prince, his youngest brother is kidnapped in the confusion. In 1819 after three years of unsuccessful searching, Xander conceives a bold plan to light one of the darkest streets in London where his brother, if still alive, may be concealed. He needs money, and an encounter in his bank with an heiress whose funds are restricted until she marries leads him to propose a marriage of convenience. As two strong and wary partners come to know each other, they discover sinister threads of connection between them that lead inevitably to London’s darkest street, a test of their love, and the miraculous discovery that Xander’s brother is alive. The brothers are still divided, however, by the youngest brother’s fear of a powerful enemy.
