The Earl was known as a beast. Camille Montgomery is aware of the wicked mans reputation. But as an expert in antiquities, she also knows his familys Egyptian artifacts are the finest in England. The problem is, her wayward stepfather knows this, too -- and hes determined to steal them. So when hes caught in the act of robbing the so-called Beast of Carlyle, Camille must swallow her fear and boldly confront the man whose mask is said to hide a face too loathsome to behold. The Earl of Carlyle has lived in the shadows ever since the suspicious death of his parents. But hes never stopped trying to unravel the mystery behind what he suspects to have been their murder. And now that the lovely Camille has stumbled into his life, he has the perfect pawn for his deadly game of vengeance and deceit. But in laying his ruthless trap, will he risk losing his own heart?
