I love Jess Michaels books and again this one does not disappoint. This second chance romance book has everything a good romantic suspense should have. A strong love between two wounded souls who,are brought back together each out of the need for a type of protection they need. Lord Lucian Stenfax feels nothing but hatred for Dutchess "Elise" Kirkford since she threw him over for a man of higher means three years ago. But there's a fine line between love and hate and Lucian is about to find out just how hard it will be to stay away from the beautiful Elise. With secrets and danger waiting in the wings to ruin everything they hold dear Lucian and Elise may not have the chance to forgive.
