Wicked Exile by K.J. Jackson

She can’t afford to love anyone. He will never marry. They can never have a future…or can they?

A fallen lady with a heart of gold and a spine of steel.
Long ago, Madame Juliet Thomson was exiled from her family. A fallen lady, she’s worked in one of London’s most famous gaming hells for the last six years. An arrangement that suited her well until an over-zealous lord determines she is his property. Which she is most decidedly not. But convincing the man is another matter, and she needs desperately to disappear for a while—somewhere safe, somewhere she cannot be found.

When opportunities present themselves, take them.
Evander Docherty wants one thing. To set his future bride in front of his beloved grandfather before the earl dies. A last wish fulfilled. Not that he actually plans to marry the lass. Nor that he even has a fiancée. But for his grandfather, Evan would do anything. Even strike a bargain with a fallen lady.

An attraction not to be denied.
While danger rears on the journey north to Scotland, Evan and Juliet quickly find the attraction between them is spinning out of control. But she can’t afford to love anyone. And he will never marry. They can never have a future…or can they?
