ABOUT THE BOOK
All He Wanted was Justice. All She Wanted was His Heart.
Georgina Whitmore, not accustomed to any man being unaffected by her charms, is plagued with the disappearance and rejection of Simon Fancourt. Twelve years later, Mr. Fancourt returns to British society with two children and a mad hunger for justice.
Racing against time, Simon works to uncover the men responsible for his wife’s horrific murder, protect his children, and fulfill his father’s unexpected will by marrying Georgina—the last thing in the world he wants to do.
Though her heart throbs to accept, she would rather lose him again than have his name without his love. She denies his proposal of matrimony, knowing it will cost them both. But as tragedies unravel and secret enemies narrow their sights on Simon, Georgina risks her life—and her reputation—to protect him and the children. Will the danger scorch them alive? Or will it, for the first time, open his heart to her?

MY THOUGHTS
This is my first read by the author. I loved her writing style, and the fact that it’s original from any I’ve read before. It’s a gothic regency read. It’s a bit dark at first with some dark undertones. This sets the story up for what’s to come.
Georgina and Simon, they had such a beautiful story presented about them.
The mystery and intrigue pull you deep into the story, you must keep reading.
A romance that almost wasn’t so many secrets, I was thoroughly intrigued as I read. The characters fascinated me and I’ll now be reading more books by the author.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
