"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"-- Provided by publisher.

ugh submitted by bec on August 27, 2020, 8:34am I was disappointed by this book, which sees two characters matched back up together after one has spent decades stalking the other and committing acts of violence "for" her. MacLean sends him on a program of self-improvement that, at least, doesn't make his love interest do the work of "reforming" him-- she also uses a revisionist plot twist to make him less bad (??)-- but to me it wasn't enough. I'm not sure what would have been, frankly, and found myself wishing for a book in which both characters grew up, got healthy, and freely moved on to have relationships with other humans.
