IN REGENCY ENGLAND, A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN FINDS HER LIFE THROWN INTO TURMOIL BY THE ARRIVAL OF A HANDSOME SCOUNDREL.

Lady Elizabeth, the youngest and most headstrong of the three Banning sisters, has been engaged three times and broken them all. Her fear of becoming any man's property has earned her a reputation as a heartbreaking flirt.

Neil Severin is a wicked rogue devoid of compassion, a government-sanctioned assassin. When the ruthless organization he works for turns its agents loose on him, only Beth stands between him and a death he thought he didn't fear. In a fight for their lives, they travel the British countryside, fleeing the ruthless killers out for Neil's blood ... and their growing attraction to each other.

The third in the Banning Sisters trilogy that began with the New York Times bestsellers Scandalous and Irresistible, Shameless marks a dazzling return to historical fiction for Karen Robards.
