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?

REVIEW
This story was heart-wrenching and redeeming. Both elements that are very hard to see done well. I was on the edge of my seat the entire story to see how it would end. So many unanswered questions throughout the entire novel. As I read I kept wondering how it would end…how things would (or could) ever work out…and I truly never knew what was going to happened, until it happened. Not many stories flow so well in that regard. It was a little grotesque at times, but I pushed through and in the end it was all worth it. (But if violence is bothersome for you, this would be a book to skip as there was a lot of it.) The ending was fantastic and peaceful. I’ve read all her books and this one is my favorite so far. Great read!
