Villain's Vixen

Dominic Eastland, the Duke of Cuthbert, is a known wastrel in polite society, but he harbors an even greater secret. In London's seedy underworld he's known as "Avalon," the leader of a cutthroat gang. However, he's recently decided it's time for someone else to rule in his stead. He owes respectability to his line and his brother who died young and never had the chance to inherit the title, so it's time to put his past transgressions aside and attempt to become an honorable man by doing his duty and taking a wife.
But then he sees her and suddenly he doesn't want to be that good anymore.
Miss Alexandra Givenwald has lived a life of simplicity under her father's roof where she was generally ignored. When she gets the chance to go to London under the pretense of finding a husband, she has other ideas in mind. Her aunt would be thrilled if she married well, and has picked a suitable gentleman, but Lexie cares not for the strictures of a union. She wants to experience passion and explore what freedoms life has to offer.
From the moment she sees him, she knows he can fulfill her deepest desires.
The attraction between Dominic and Lexie is instant, and although she is continuously warned away from him by the man himself, she is drawn toward him that much deeper. As true villains are revealed, they must embark on a perilous journey that will risk more than just the danger posed to their hearts.
