Pistols at Dawn

She aimed for justice... but found herself in the line of love.

Eliza Kirtland will do anything to see the man who destroyed her sister's life brought to justice-even if it means breaking into the Earl of Killingworth's country manor and pointing a pistol at him. But the notorious nobleman quickly proves his innocence, leaving Eliza certain the true villain hides somewhere within his household.

Determined to uncover the truth, Eliza throws herself into her investigation-until a careless remark sparks a vigilante attack against the earl's visiting nephew. Shocked by the violence and her own role in it, she agrees to let her sister nurse the young man back to health, unaware that the arrangement will bind her fate to the very man she mistrusts.

As tempers flare and secrets unravel, Eliza and the Earl of Killingworth are drawn into a dangerous alliance. What begins as suspicion soon ignites into a passion neither expected-and when evil strikes again, the two must rely on each other to survive.

In a duel between truth and temptation, love may be the most perilous weapon of all.

Acclaimed author Andrea Pickens delivers another captivating Regency filled with wit, courage, and slow-burning passion. Fans of Mary Balogh and Jo Beverley will be swept away by this tale of a fearless lady, a notorious earl, and the perilous power of love.
