Quote:A brooding earl sinking under the weight of his past. An undercover guardian sent to keep him afloat. A forbidden temptation he cannot resist.

His past haunts his every turn.
For years, unspeakable things were done to Thomas Wallins, the Earl of Hedstrom. A past no one knows of. A past he refuses to speak of. Because he is fine. Fine. He's back on English soil. Has an earldom he needs to right. Bottles of whisky to be drunk. His days are drowning with emptiness, just like the shell of his soul.

He was never alone.
The one saving grace Thomas has is his cousin, who has called upon the Guardians of the Bones to covertly watch over her cousin. Izzie is the guardian to answer the call, and she devises a brilliant ruse that drops her at his door, forcing him to take her on as his ward.

Undeniable heat...
Bound by honor, Thomas takes her into his home, though refuses to acknowledge the growing attraction between them. But when the undeniable heat between the two of them proves impossible to deny, this carefully crafted scheme may fall apart with deadly implications...
