Opposites attract! I loved this story of Percy and Gavin, seemingly opposite, but both with big hearts (even if It was difficult for Gavin to show his). Gavin’s past was heartbreaking. Watching him overcome and grow as his relationship with Percy developed, was satisfying. Once again Grace Callaway provides a story with heart and steam!
What a love story! Miss Percy Fines is on the prowl for a title which would make her family happy. Her deceased father, head of Fines & Co Shipping, started and built his business to great financial rewards. He found and mentored the child Nicholas Morgan, who became the Marquess of Harteford (previous book). Nicholas is now half owner with Paul Fines, Percy’s older brother, who wants nothing to do with business, only the rewards. Paul is in trouble gambling and loses his 50% share of the company to Gavin Hunt, owner of the gaming hell The Underworld. Like Nicholas, Gavin survived the brutality of poverty and cruelty. He was blamed for a fire he did not set as a boy, but believes it was Nick’s fault. He spends 10 years in prison called The Hulks. Once free, he works to gain independence and riches. Now he has the means to not only gain more wealth with the collection of his debt, but to get his revenge on Nick. Percy confronts Gavin to free her brother and agrees to a wager – if she can resist 6 nights of seduction, the debt is forgotten. But Gavin did not count on his attraction to Percy’s honesty – she intrigues him at every turn for she is not the usual young miss. And Percy breaks through the walls Gavin has built up so he is alone and not vulnerable. She realizes he is not the cold-hearted monster the rumors say – he takes in the children who are in the same situation he was, trains them for work within his club. Percy’s family is outraged by her attraction and defense of Gavin.
But there is another enemy behind the violence and attempts on Gavin’s life. A truly romantic adventure of love’s rocky path that only faith can bring to a happy-ever-after!
really enjoyed the second book in the series
