Inferno Club, Book 2: MY DANGEROUS DUKEThe Inferno Club: In public, this scandalous society of London aristocrats is notorious for pursuing all manner of debauchery. But in private, they are warriors who would do anything to protect king and country . . . They say that the very name of Warrington is cursed . . . From a time as old as the cold stone of the duke’s ancestral castle, the Warrington men have been plagued by tragedy. But Rohan Kilburn, the Duke of Warrington has vowed to escape the predestined torment by forsaking love and devoting his life to the Inferno Club and its secret mission. And then she is brought to him unbidden by cutthroats hoping to calm the duke’s infamous temper—a sacrificial virgin of sorts. But even overpowered, Kate Madsen will be no man’s sacrifice. And the duke’s price for claiming her may be what he has sworn never to give—the heart he has so long and fiercely guarded . . . to the beautiful hostage he was never meant to love. |

My Dangerous Duke has so many different plotlines and events that continuously unfold within the pages that a reader cannot help but feel as if they are on the edge of their seat just waiting to see what happens next. Ms. Foley has a way of writing that brings history alive in such an enticing way. I love how Rohan is this strong and domineering man, only to find himself pitted against a woman who can match him word for word and spark for spark. As the danger and passion escalated, I found myself wanting to both shut the book because I was afraid to see what would happen next, and read faster to see how the story would end.
