In 1816 at London’s Satan Den, Lords Luke Daudet and Albert Cayne make an outrageous wager on the turn of the cards though the former knows this is stupid; the latter wins. As Daudet leaves, he receives a message from Widow Lady Madeline May that she needs his help immediately.
Luke races to see Madge who tells him she killed her blackmailer Lord Fitch who has her late husband’s journal that would taint Colin’s name. She explains he taunted her and threatened to publish the journal so she conked him in the head with a fire place poker. He checks on the blackguard who is alive and promises to fix everything although Luke fears his assistance will mean close contact to the woman he most desires. As they fall in love, she conceals her past from him and he likewise hides an obligation; but it is the deceased Colin’s secrets that threaten their lives.
The latest Notorious Bachelor Regency romance (see My Lord Scandal) is a fabulous historical romantic suspense. The lead couple is a fascinating pairing as each fails to disclose to their beloved their darkest secrets, but ironically though these may break them up; it is Colin’s past that haunts them. Fans will appreciate Emma Wildes’ wonderful tale as all it takes is One Wicked Mistake to shake up a seemingly comfortable life.
