Ban - Lord of Death
Banshee Dyer fears nothing and no one.
Abandoned as an infant to one of London’s most notorious baby farms, apprenticed as a child to a murderous Seven Dials gang leader, and left to die at the age of seven in a St. Giles cemetery, Ban now leads the rookeries’ most successful den of thieves. He and his gang steal treasures from the wealthiest homes in Mayfair.
When some of those treasures disappear before Ban’s men can remove them, he’s determined to find out why and by whom. Those who dare to cross Ban Dyer soon discover why he is called Death. His concern for the lives of others and his loyalty are reserved for his three brothers. Life has hardened his heart to everyone else.
Isadore Fitz-Wilton, widow of banking family scion Gregory Fitz-Wilton, is desperate.
Her fourteen-year-old son, Jeremy, heir to the Fitz-Wilton banking empire, has been missing for over a year. She suspects her brother-in-law, George Fitz-Wilton, is responsible. When she catches a thief ushering two ragged children out a window of her Grosvenor Square home, she follows him back to his lair and strikes a bargain at pistol-point. If he helps her find her son and evidence of her brother-in-law’s perfidy, she won’t reveal the location and secrets of his den to the authorities. Banshee Dyer is a cruel, heartless wretch who may well murder her, but her son is her only concern.
Ban races to find Isadore’s son before her fierce mother’s love and steely determination breach the cracks in his heart. Isadore could never love a man as cold and ruthless as Ban. He’s nothing she needs and everything she desires. The longer they work together, the closer their destruction looms.
A faint whiff of trust is all that Ban and Isadore share. The physical fire between them, however, is a raging blaze. A love that wins over death is the last thing either one of them wants.
