About this ebook
He was falsely accused and sentenced to die...
At nineteen, Christopher "Kit" Hollingsworth is spared the noose but sentenced to serve seven years in Australia as a convict. The men who betrayed him have plans to make sure he never returns to England. But Kit's strong will and thirst for vengeance ensure his survival.
Seven long years later, he returns to London but he's forever changed. Gone is the innocent, handsome young lad he'd been. Now Kit is a towering, muscular man of twenty-six with scars inside and out. He wants England to see the new him, the man who lost his soul, and he wants the three men who destroyed his life to forfeit theirs. The only light in his dark night is a beautiful, innocent young woman who paints the sets at the Drury Lane theater. There's just one problem...she's the daughter of one of the men who sent him to prison.

I love that this dabbles with the dark side of the regency genre that goes beyond titles and society expectations. Revenge focused, rightly so, add in a twist of fate with an instant connection as the plot thickens and danger arises. Love the boldness, character depth, and support the rogues display. Not for the faint at heart, revelation can be priceless yet dangerous but the strong survives. Great characters, heartfelt gripping plot and steamy romance.

This was a very exciting and original story. It was captivating with so much drama, action, intrigue, and mystery, including lies and deceit to destroy a life, terrible hardships of mind and body, death of loved ones, a brotherhood formed from a bond of friendship love and revenge and so much more to captivate. I enjoyed the complexities of the characters and how happy true love can help overcome all. I highly recommend reading!

He is seething with rage and vengeance, for the injustice of being punished for a crime he didn’t commit. Until she shows him a better option to hatred and revenge, justice and love. It is also wonderful to have the full support of friends who will do anything for you. Lovely read and lovely HEA, with an introduction to next in series. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
