"A steamy romance wrapped in a life-and-death mystery. Can the scoundrel save his love from a killer."

Major Nathaniel Grey is a hardened war veteran and an inveterate rake. Worse, he's a self-made man and only friendships forged in battle allow him to skirt the edges of the ton. He may be a womanizer, but he is loyal to a fault to his friends, which takes him to do the doorstep of his best friend's sister.

Emily -- Mrs. Crenshaw now -- well remembers Grey's visits to her family home. Her life didn't turn out at all like she expected, but she refuses to ask for help. She already has a plan to take care of herself. Instead, Nathaniel insists on taking her home to London, even if it puts both their lives at risk.

ALONG CAME A ROGUE is a fast-paced, high-action thrill ride punctuated by hot and sexy games between Grey and Emily. They can't keep their hands off each other, even though they have no future together. Author Anna Harrington creates wall after wall to keep them from finding a happily-ever-after together. She also created a hero and heroine who are willful and determined enough to break any rules to make their own path.

I did find myself wishing that Emily would have confided in Grey sooner, at least about certain things that put both their lives at risk. They also have enough external barriers to their happiness that the internal ones they create for themselves seem unnecessary and rather forced. Beyond that, I enjoyed Grey and Emily's adventurous story.

ALONG CAME A ROGUE will appeal to historical romance readers who enjoy a good mystery and explicitly steamy passion.

Book Summary

THE WICKEDEST SECRET . . .

Major Nathaniel Grey is free to bed whomever he wants, whenever he chooses, and that's exactly how he likes it. His only loyalties are to country and the two friends he served with-brothers he'd do anything for. So when one of them is gravely injured and asking for his little sister, Grey will move heaven and earth to bring her home. He's greeted not by the gangly girl he remembers, but a stunningly beautiful woman holding a loaded musket. And he's utterly captivated by her . . .

IS A SECRET SEDUCTION

Once upon a time, Emily would have loved nothing more than a stolen hour with her brother's best friend, the dashing officer who captured her heart and soul. But things are different now-and so is she. Gone is the eager young woman who believed in love. In her place is a widow weighed down with secrets who desperately needs to disappear before they're revealed. But Grey's sinfully sexy smile offers protection unlike anything she's ever known, tempting her to risk everything . . . even her heart.
