About this ebook

"As steamy as it is luscious. My favorite kind of historical!"—GRACE BURROWES, New York Times bestselling author, for Dukes Are Forever

Welcome to Anna Harrington's star-studded Regency world with:

A former soldier determined to uphold the law
A heroine in London's underworld trapped by her own impossible choices
And an attraction between them that is dangerously distracting to them both

Soldier turned solicitor Lord Merritt Rivers has dedicated his life to upholding the law. He patrols the streets faithfully, hoping to stop crimes before they can happen. While hunting an escaped convict, he encounters a woman also hunting thieves. She's a delicious distraction, until he discovers that she is the criminal he's after. She's smart, challenging, and everything he finds attractive, but he cannot trust her.

Veronica Chase has hidden her past as a nobleman's daughter. She confesses to a crime to keep her adopted brother out of prison. She now lives in London's underworld, trapped between worlds, belonging nowhere.

Forming an uneasy alliance, Veronica and Merritt work together to protect innocent Londoners during the city's riots. Moving between her world and his, they grow closer to each other and to the mob's dangerous leaders. But their newfound trust won't be enough, until each face their demons and ask what's worth saving—the lives they've chosen to lead or the love that leaves them yearning for more.

I liked Merritt and Veronica and I really enjoyed reading their story. This is the third book in this fun series while I think you could enjoy this book quite easily on its own, personally, I recommend you read the full series and in order because there is an overarching story unfolding throughout. Action, excitement, intensity and intrigue give the storyline a sharp edge that dazzles as it captures and keeps your attention. On the romance side of things, I felt this couple worked very well together. I felt that their differences were offset nicely by the surprising similarities they shared and I found it easy to feel for them both. You can expect plenty of emotions, inner turmoil, humor, drama, heat and heart as this couple strives to work through their baggage, let go of their pasts and find the courage to open their hearts to love. I am electing to post a forthright review.

The moment Merritt and Veronica clash swords, I was hooked. This is an exciting action-packed story with some very interesting characters. Merritt and Veronica don’t admit it at first, but they are a match. Both are courageous, street smart, and skilled fighters. The chemistry between them is hot. They both have secrets and pain from the past. It’s possible they can help each other heal. For now, they work together with Clayton Elliot to gain information about the riots, who is financing them, and of course, Scepter. Their search takes them to taverns, a brothel, and the Regent’s ball. All the while, they are falling for each other. By the end of the story, the Lords of the Armory still have not discovered the mastermind of Scepter, but they have taken some of the operatives, and they know what the ultimate goal is. This one is definitely hard to put down. I highly recommend it and the series. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

London 1816 He was hunting an escaped convict at night. She was on a mission to catch her own criminals and when he came upon her, she had a large man pinned against the wall with a knife at the man's throat. "Thank you for coming... she called out, but I'm not in need of rescue." "And you are..? he said" "Rich man, poor man, beggar man.. thief... taker." He'd never seen a female like her.. magnificent! Wowza, can I say Anna Harrington had me in the palm of her hand with this first meeting and the witty banter zigging back and for between them! With both having secrets, adventure, suspense, a villian and amazing characters, with a steamy attraction, you will be transported to 1800 London and not come back until the end!
