author: Ardelie, Susan
description: LOVE CAN BE THE WICKEDEST LIE . . .
  
  Ryland Gryffnd, the Earl of Hawthorne, thoroughly enjoys his notorious reputation.  Of course, his idle glance does send young ladies to vapors.  And there is that trifling matter of him being banned from every private assembly ball thrown by the
  ton
  .  But, as the most powerful Incorporeal shifter in London, the city's darkest pleasures are his for the taking. Yet no hunger thrills quite like it used to--until a bewitching French beauty convinces him some temptations are worth the chase.
  . . . OR THE SWEETEST SURRENDER.
  For the bold but impoverished Thea d'Argente, fortune is a hunter's game.  Gifted with the ability to thieve memories and a decidedly agile mind toward marriage, she finds her worthiest mark in the scandal-ridden Hawthorne.  He's rich and unshackled, and when he mistakes her for the ghost of his murdered lover, she's determined to compromise the mad gentleman at all costs.  What she doesn't expect is to risk her heart--or her life in the bargain.
