................

With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas, society has labelled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar . . . and doesn''t know she''s one of the Hell''s Belles - a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London.

Thomas Peck is not most of London. The brilliant detective has a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn''t peculiar...she''s pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn''t agree more . . . and they know just the man for the task.

Thomas wants nothing to do with guarding Imogen. He is a grown man with a proper job and no time for the lady''s incendiary chaos, no matter how lushly it is packaged. Yet as the gruff detective becomes caught up in Imogen''s world, they each discover an unexpected but fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.
