After Dark with a Scoundrel Hawkins, Alexandra

A London gaming hell. A rake with a lethal reputation. A lady who shouldn't be there at all. When Isabel Thorne slips into the notorious Sin's gaming club to save her reckless brother from ruin, she catches the eye of Reign, a scoundrel who plays for far higher stakes than money. What begins as a dangerous bargain — help me unmask a traitor, I'll spare your brother — spirals into something neither of them can control. Hawkins writes Regency romance with teeth: the ballrooms glitter, but the real action happens after midnight, where scandal and seduction blur together. The banter crackles, the tension simmers, and Isabel refuses to be anyone's pawn. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas and Sarah MacLean who want their historical romance with a side of intrigue and a hero who's genuinely trouble.
