Grace Condry commands London's darkest streets with a sharp mind and deadly fists. She built this empire after childhood betrayal left her abandoned and fighting for survival. Now Ewan returns as the Duke of Marwick, determined to reclaim the woman he never forgot. His decade-long search ends when he finds Grace transformed into someone who bows to no one. She refuses his pleas for reconciliation. Instead, Grace chooses revenge against the man who destroyed her trust. Her plan demands keeping Ewan close, but proximity breeds danger of a different kind. The duke threatens everything she has constructed in the shadows. Grace discovers that hatred and desire can occupy the same heart, even when the stakes include the criminal world she rules and the emotions she swore to bury forever.
