About this ebook

A scarred lady, living in the outskirts of society. A hardened rogue brought up from the worst of humanity. One seeks revenge. One seeks redemption. Neither is prepared for a love that will defy all odds.

A scarred lady, living in the fringes.

Lady Alton knows she doesn’t fit into polite society. Her scars determined that long ago and marrying a viscount never helped the matter. Now a widow, Torrie is adrift, knowing peace and a family will never be hers. Luckily, she has one hobby, obsessing on the man that helped to kill her family nine years ago—Mr. Robert Lipinstein—who is back on English soil. When she discovers he is about to board a ship—still not accountable for his crimes—she follows him to the docks.

A hardened rogue brought up from the worst of humanity.

Roe Lipinstein has one thing on his mind—to get on his ship and catch the Minerva—the smuggling ship that holds the crew that killed half his mates. The ship—and the men aboard—need to sink to a watery grave and he’s now within striking distance. He has no time to save a fool woman from a hoard of sailors at the docks. Of course, what he should do, and what he actually does, have always been very different things.

A reckoning no one was prepared for.

When Roe yanks Torrie from the frothing band of ruffians, he’s faced with a reckoning he wasn’t prepared to have. He served seven years in Newgate Prison for killing Torrie’s family. A crime he didn’t commit. Not that she’ll believe him. Ever.

But the attraction between them cannot be denied. And if she manages to crack her heart open to this hardened rouge, a love that will defy all odds could be theirs.

Join the adventure today! You’ll love The Steel Rogue, the third in the Valor of Vinehill series and a can’t-miss enthralling regency romance by USA Today bestselling author, K.J. Jackson.

Note: The novels in the Valor of Vinehill series by K.J. Jackson are each stand-alone stories and can be read individually in any order. These action packed historical romances are set in the Regency and Victorian eras, and do not shy away from scenes with steamy heat, occasional naughty language, and moments that might possibly make you squirm.

Driven by guilt, Roe makes it his mission to keep tabs on the family he was responsible for hurting many years before, not realising that Lady Torrie has been investigating him as well, which leads to her having to be rescued at the docks and placed on board his ship. With time, the pain, the regrets and confessions from the past make their way into the light bringing a certain amount of healing in its wake. However, the danger is far from over and there is more than one enemy that has to be decimated. The plot is suspenseful and full of action, but not easy to read. Being of a squeamish disposition there were large tracks of storyline that I found intensely difficult to read. The growing understanding and attraction between Roe and Torrie bring healing to both characters, but I cannot say that I enjoyed the book, although it is well written and has a good plot. I received a copy of this novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Once again, K.J. Jackson has managed to craft an emotionally gripping, rollercoaster read about two souls whose lives cross path years before and years later cross path again. One survived with scars from a horrendous fire the other survived physical and mental anguish. I liked this book as well as others K.J. Jackson has written. Her characters are so internal that I get completely enwrapped in their stories. She always provides a specific setting that is critical to what is going on and happens to the characters. Character development is in-depth, not superficial. One may not find out until later what motivates them. From the beginning of this work, it was obvious our heroine, Torrie, was motivated by rage because of what had happened to her years before. It wasn’t so obvious with Roe, our hero of the story. It takes a while before his character and motivation are fully revealed. I was fortunate to receive an ARC from the author of this work which has in no way affected my honest review of The Steel Rogue. All opinions stated are my own. I recommend and rate this work: 4 ½ stars; heat level 3 ½ (it was an exquisite and sweet encounter.)
