Rule of scoundrels

Sarah MacLean

Accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding, the notorious “Killer Duke” must confront a past he can’t remember—while the underworld that once protected him demands answers. As Temple’s reign in the shadows of a high-stakes casino draws him deeper into danger, Mara’s secrets and the truth behind that fatal night begin to surface in ways neither of them can control. Blending sharp wit with high-heat romance, this installment of the Rule of Scoundrels quartet explores guilt, identity, and the thin line between justice and vengeance. Sarah MacLean’s signature style—fast-paced, emotionally charged, and richly plotted—delivers a thrilling historical love story where every wager has a cost and every confession changes the game.
