When A Lady Desires a Wicked Lord — Tara Kingston

Alexandra Quinn has spent her life uncovering and studying ancient relics. But when her own past resurfaces, she isn't prepared. The man who shattered her young heart is the last person she'd expect to rescue her from an intruder just in the nick of time.

To solve a string of murders from Cairo to London, she'll have to work with the rakish Benedict Weston, Viscount Marlsbrook. Alex knows better than to trust Benedict, but it's impossible to forget his kiss and the wicked promise it holds.

Benedict never wanted to be a hero. Actually, he's plundered antiquities for years â€" it seems the only way to restore his family's debt-ridden estate to glory. But now, a ruthless killer has targeted Alex, the only woman he's ever loved â€" the woman he craves with a soul-deep hunger. He'll do whatever it takes to protect her… even from himself.
