No Good Duke Goes Unpunished: The Third Rule of Scoundrels (Rules of Scoundrels)
*Starred Review* Temple thought he killed her. Twelve years ago, he woke up, very drunk, in Mara Lowe’s bedchamber. The sheets were stained with blood, and Mara was nowhere to be seen. Dallying with his father’s latest bride-to-be on the night before her wedding is scandalous enough, but the possibility that he may have murdered her as well makes Temple a social outcast. Now the “Killer” Duke of Lamont, Temple has built a new life for himself as the part-owner and muscle behind London’s most notorious gambling hell, the Fallen Angel. When Temple hears footsteps following him home late one night, the last person he expects to see when he turns around is a dead woman. Mara ruined his life, but now she offers Temple the redemption he desperately craves, if he will only meet her demands. In the third stunning installment of her Rule of Scoundrels series, RITA Award–winning MacLean richly rewards readers with a dark, intense, and supremely sexy story that will connect emotionally on every level. Brimming with brilliant dialogue, memorable characters, and just the right dash of dry wit, No Good Duke Goes Unpunished is everything a romance should be. --John Charles
