Congratulations! Dashing and daring, with the smooth charm of a duke, Leo Barrons is your man!
The urbane Leo Barrons guards a troubled heart – but if you let him, he'll steal your own. An alpha to the core, he's a dashing figure, smart and sophisticated, and quite content to guard his heroine's back – and hold her reticule – if she needs to do her own manhandling. Dangerously seductive, he'll require a fiery heroine with the smarts to match him on all levels…

Congratulations! Blade, the darkly flirtatious Devil of Whitechapel is for you!
A dangerous man, the Devil of Whitechapel isn't afraid to back down to anyone, and has, on occasion, dabbled in slightly illegal affairs, but if you have his heart, then you'll never want for anything. Charming, seductive and fiercely protective of those he considers ‘family', he's a force to be reckoned with. Only a brave woman could expect to handle him… Or let him handle her.
