When an American heiress finds a secret passage to a gentleman's club she meet the Duke, a bare knuckle fighter from the depths of Whitechapel who fascinates her. Her inheritance, and the future of her beloved sister, are in peril if she doesn't marry a titled lord. This spicy gilded age romance will satisfy readers who love three dimensional characters, accurate settings and detail, as well as a good story well told. I will definitely be looking for other titles by Harper St. George.

This book knows how to layer complexity into its characters. Simon’s tough exterior hides a past he’s desperate to leave behind, while Eliza isn’t afraid to go after what she wants whether it’s freedom, or, eventually, him. Their banter had me giggling and sighing in equal measure, and their journey was nothing short of addictive. The more they try to resist each other, the more I couldn’t stop turning the pages. It’s like this book gets you in all the right ways. There’s tension, passion, and a plot that doesn’t waste any time giving you exactly what you came for, and then some. And honestly, this is the kind of historical romance I live for; smart, sexy, and a little dangerous. If you’re into characters with depth, chemistry that practically burns the page, and a romance that’s as scandalous as it is swoon-worthy, this one’s for you. I couldn’t put it down.
