A rogue ruined...He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over the darkest of London's corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful, but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the one thing he's dreamed of...absolution. A lady returned...Mara planned never to return to the world from which she'd run, but when her brother falls deep into debt at Temple's exclusive casino, she has no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to society and proving to the world what only she knows...that he is no killer.

My review in a nutshell:
But to elaborate:
Why did Mara come up with the scheme? Why did Mara not help him if she felt so guilty? Why were they even attracted to each other? 80% of this story didn't make sense to me and I found Mara hugely unlikeable for what she did to Temple.
Her actions towards the end made no sense. At all.
And then the writing. What's up with it? It was choppy. Like this. Always. Every. Chapter.
And repetitive - Mara kept reminding us that Temple was the way he was because of her. Always. In. Every. Chapter. In that breathy, melodramatic. Style.
