Meet the Blackthorn Brothers—three unrepentant scoundrels infamous for being mad, bad and perilous to love.

Handsome as the devil and twice as tempting, Robin “Puck” Blackthorn lives for the pleasures of the moment. His only rule—never dally with an innocent woman. But when an encounter at a masquerade ball leaves him coveting the one woman who refuses to succumb to his charms, Puck realizes that some rules were made to be broken….

Scandalized to discover that the masked man with whom she’d shared a dance—and a forbidden embrace—is in fact the ton’s most celebrated rake, Regina Hackett vows to keep her distance.

However, she is reared with luxuries, fine clothes, and sent out into Society with the adventurous Miranda for the Season. Miranda’s risqué plan gets her into a heap of trouble and Regina into a relationship that is not at all what her father had planned—but, oh, what, an experience for Regina!.
