A ruthless duke, an abandoned baby, and the Lady across the street.
The enigmatic Duke of Malum is a man of power and mystery, feared by high society for his notorious reputation. Beneath the surface, however, he protects London's most vulnerable by running a prestigious brothel. His brooding, untouchable persona keeps the ton at bay—until Lady Melanie Rutherford, his quiet neighbor, becomes unexpectedly entwined in his life.
Lady Melanie, a woman silenced by past trauma, watches the world from the safety of her window. When she sees a newborn infant abandoned on the Duke's doorstep, she is drawn into the mystery, knowing the Duke is utterly clueless when it comes to caring for a child. His rugged hands and stern demeanor make him ill-suited for such a delicate task, and Melanie can't help but step in.
Together, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind the baby's origins while unraveling the dark secrets hidden in Melanie's mind.
Can the Duke protect his heart, or will the vulnerable baby—and the even more vulnerable Lady Melanie—pierce through the walls he's built?
Six London Gents wreaking havoc in Mayfair—one heart at a time. Fall in love with these rakish fellows as you make your way through Annabelle Anders' latest series: Rakes of Rotten Row, or read each as a standalone.
