Synopsis
In USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long's latest installment in the Palace of Rogues series, an estranged couple decide to fake their way through the London season to repair their good name... but neither the Lord nor Lady are prepared for the genuine sparks that begin flying between them.
War hero Magnus Gunn, also known as Lord Brightwall, knows how to get what he wants. So when a wild scandal erupts with his estranged wife, Alexandra, at the center, he issues an ultimatum: the five year long icy yet civil separation between the couple ends now. He wants to repair his family name. The two will confront the London season together and convincingly fix the Brightwall reputation, and then he will send her to live in New York, a continent away, where she'll be free to live as she chooses.
But alone in a suite at The Grand Palace on the Thames, a new battle begins: between pride, and the unexpected, volcanic passion stirring between them. The danger is real: Magnus rediscovers why she's the only woman who could ever break him. And even as she lays bare the beautiful heart beating beneath the battered hide of the near-stranger she married, Alexandra knows she may have already lost him--even as she finally falls fatally, irrevocably in love.
