Lord Noble by Wendy Vella

Born into wealth and privilege, the Lords of Night Street have vowed to serve those most in need. They navigate the glittering ballrooms of society and London’s criminal underworld with equal ease, leading the fight for love and justice.

Finding himself in a sudden betrothal with the woman who makes him feel like he’s rolling in stinging nettle is proving to be a challenge for the notorious Marquis of Vereton. He and the exquisite Miss Elizabeth Witlow had always disliked each other, or so Leo believed. So when he makes his audacious proposal, no-one’s more shocked than Leo that Beth agrees.

Feigning being in love with the Marquis of Vereton isn’t quite as hard as Beth anticipated. He’s a consummate lover whose skill in the bedroom is only exceeded by his determination to uncover her long-buried secrets and intense desire to protect her. Beth soon realizes that Leo won’t settle for being a faux fiancé. He wants more than her body… he needs her total trust too. And that is the most dangerous risk of all.
