Distrust is no match for desire as a proper young miss and a self-professed rogue hunt down a murderer in this thrilling Disgraced Lords novel from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A Taste of Seduction.
Arend Aubury trusts no one besides his fellow Libertine Scholars. After his family escaped from France, penniless and persecuted, only the Scholars took him in. So when the stepdaughter of the villainess who has been plotting against them approaches Arend with allegations against their enemy, he suspects a double cross. Yet Isobel is a tantalizing prize, with lips as sweet as champagne and skin as creamy as Camembert. Is she a feast for the senses—or a bitter trap?
Lady Isobel Thompson dreams of marrying an honorable gentleman with a spotless reputation, a trait that Arend seems to lack completely. But Isobel believes that her stepmother is responsible for her father’s death, and only Arend has the skills to uncover the truth. As a cover, Arend suggests a fake betrothal—and soon Isobel finds herself forgetting that their courtship is a ploy. He’s so different from the man of her fantasies, and yet he’s so terribly handsome, so dangerously intoxicating—and all Isobel wants is more.

Arend Aubury, Baron Labourd is part of the Libertine Scholars, but feels himself to only be on the outside because he doesn't deserve to be a part of the group. There is a woman set on destroying all of them because of the actions of their fathers. Now they know who she is but need to prove it.
Lady Isobel Thompson believes that her stepmother killed her father but needs help proving it. Her new friends could help because they also have reason to hate the woman.
Our hero is very emotionally damaged by his past, and has serious trust issues. Our heroine is totally innocent and can't understand why those closest to her can't trust her.
This is part of a series that is better read in order, although you could read any one of them on it's own and enjoy it. There is a lot of danger , intrigue and some very sexy scenes. Our villains are very dangerous and have no scruples. Anyone who gets in the way will be killed or used to get revenge. A very exciting and surprising climax to the series. I have read most, but not all of them and loved every one.
