Divorcing the devil landed me in between two demons. When my ex-husband threatened to destroy everything I'd worked for, I sought help from an old flame. Sawyer was less than thrilled to be my attorney, so I sweetened the deal by promising him the one thing he truly wanted... revenge against my ex's lawyer... Sawyer's stepbrother. Sawyer Prince and Pierce Samuels were stepbrothers with a past and dueling law firms, on top of their contempt for each other. The scheme was simple. I bring down Sawyer's brother, Pierce, and we'd make my ex pay in court. But before I knew it, I found myself tangled in the lives and sheets of two powerful men. I was crossing major lines by not only sleeping with my own attorney... but with Pierce Samuels, the opposing counsel, as well. When feelings become involved and the truth is stranger than fiction... things heat up in the bedroom and the courtroom. Court is in session and my knees are weak as three men stare at me on the stand, hungry for different things... What will the judge rule, and what will I decide when secret alliances are revealed?

A rogue nobleman, a rescued lady, and revenge undone by romance all play a part in New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston’s irresistible novel of best-laid plots, delicious deception, and unexpected passion. Two years have passed since Josie Wentworth was bought from the Sioux for a gold watch and whisked back to England by Marcus Wharton, the Duke of Blackthorne. When Marcus breaks his promise to return Josie to America, she ends up as a maid in the home of his charming but neglected nephews. Once Josie’s long-lost family finds her, however, the suddenly wealthy heiress sets out to save the two boys from their indifferent uncle—and teach the duke a lesson in honor. Learning that Marcus is seeking a rich American bride to save his estate, Josie plots to catch his eye—certain he’ll never recognize the beauty she’s become as the ragged captive he rescued. But Josie doesn’t wager on her marital charade taking a tender turn, as the nobleman she’s despised for years proves to be a very different man than she’s imagined. And there’s no denying his passionate caresses, as she falls deeper under the spell of a husband determined to claim her heart.
