Seducing a Saint

V.B. Kildaire

Sinopse

Oliver Greystock, the new Earl of Saintbury, was brought up and went to college with the understanding that he would be a curate or vicar -- in service to people. When he inherits, he does his best to continue his good works, joining an Association that works with the poor and opening some of the earliest soup kitchens. His work earns him the title of the Saint amongst the ton.
Lord Anthony Harcourt, Tony to his friends, is a young buck about town with a fortune and nothing to do except amuse himself. Still, he is suffering from ennui and can't shake his boredom until one of his friends suggests setting his sights on the ton's newest darling, the Saint. Tony decides he's up for the challenge. 
Then Tony gets more than he bargained for on a night with the Saint and Oliver's kitchen becomes the site of several murders, entwining their lives even further.

They weren’t made to kneel. 
They were made to burn.
