Grace Condry has spent a lifetime running from her past. Betrayed as a child by her only love and raised on the streets, she now hides in plain sight as queen of London’s darkest corners. Grace has a sharp mind and a powerful right hook and has never met an enemy she could not best…until the man she once loved returns.

Single-minded and ruthless, Ewan, Duke of Marwick, has spent a decade searching for the woman he never stopped loving. A long-ago gamble may have lost her forever, but Ewan will go to any lengths to win Grace back…and make her his duchess.

Reconciliation is the last thing Grace desires. Unable to forgive the past, she vows to take her revenge. But revenge requires keeping Ewan close, and soon her enemy seems to be something else altogether—something she can’t resist, even as he threatens the world she’s built, the life she’s claimed…and the heart she swore he’d never steal again.

All reviews are raves…”One year ago, fate finally gave Grace Condry the opportunity to settle her score with Ewan, better known to the world as Robert Matthew Carrick, Duke of Marwick, for what he did to her and her two brothers. But now Ewan is back in London, and rumor has it he is looking for a suitable woman to become his duchess. As far as Grace is concerned, not only does Ewan not deserve any chance at happiness, his actions could have serious repercussions for Grace and her brothers. This leaves Grace no choice but to do whatever it takes to put a stop to Ewan’s matrimonial plans. Wrapping up the Bareknuckle Bastards series splendidly, RITA Award-winning MacLean reinforces her place as a master of historical romance with another exemplary, empowering love story that brilliantly showcases her flair for gloriously insightful characterization, grandly entertaining plotting, and gorgeously sensual prose.”…Booklist,

“…..While this story excels as a second-chance, redemption love story, what really makes it stand out is the unabashedly feminist exploration of power and how it ties in with identity and desire. The cinematic finale draws the series to a wholly satisfying conclusion. Dark, daring, delicious, and absolutely delightful.” ….Kirkus Reviews
