In the third installment of USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell's Sinful Brides series, a kingpin of London's underbelly risks his heart on the woman he's hired to protect.
At the notorious Hell and Sin Club nestled in London's dark streets, Niall Marksman relishes taking the fortunes of the very same society that once disregarded his existence. Oh yes, Niall has sold his soul to the devil and paid dearly. It's only when Lady Diana Verney appears at the gaming club looking for help that Niall knows that the devil has finally come to collect...by forcing him to protect the duke's pampered daughter.
Disdained by the peerage and ignored by her father, Diana knows that someone wants to harm her. Her only protection is Niall, a scarred, intense man who lives and dies by the knife. Now her life and safety are in the hands of the most dangerous man in London. But a man raised on the city's mercenary streets is adept at stealing anything he wishes--including a lady's reputation and her heart.
The Lady’s Guard is book 3 in The Sinful Brides series by Christi Caldwell. This book was an absolute desire. It is a fanciful romance but isn’t that part of what we love about historical romance? The unlikely pair making a match and breathing hope into our weary hearts? Niall Markham is perhaps the most unlikely hero of any of Caldwell’s books. Born a bastard and fighting on the streets, he stands in stark contrast to Lady Diana Verney, a Duke’s daughter. There are layers in this story that only make sense if you have read the series in order – a traitor, a mad woman – and somehow the puzzle pieces fit together by the end of this book. “At one time, she’d have followed those directives issued by the menacing guard, who, with his tousled, too-long, midnight hair, had the look of a dark angel, cast out of the gates of paradise. Her heart pounded hard. A man more ruggedly beautiful than any gentleman of London Society.”
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
