Lady Lucie is fuming. She and her band of Oxford suffragists have finally scraped together enough capital to control one of London’s major publishing houses, with one purpose: to use it in a coup against Parliament. But who could have predicted that the one person standing between her and success is her old nemesis and London’s undisputed lord of sin, Lord Ballentine? Or that he would be willing to hand over the reins for an outrageous price—a night in her bed.
 
Lucie tempts Tristan like no other woman, burning him up with her fierceness and determination every time they clash. But as their battle of wills and words fans the flames of long-smoldering devotion, the silver-tongued seducer runs the risk of becoming caught in his own snare.
 
As Lucie tries to out-maneuver Tristan in the boardroom and the bedchamber, she soon discovers there’s truth in what the poets say: all is fair in love and war…

Another great historical romance! I really enjoyed the first one in the series and this one was a delightful continuation of some of the characters. We get to know Lucie and Tristan throughout the course of the novel and I completely fell in love with both of them. I love how each of them have hidden their actual personalities and dreams. Thankfully we do get a check-in with the ladies from the first novel also. At times the novel became very serious, but I loved it. There was even a point where I felt myself tearing up. It really got to me and I just had to see Tristan and Lucie find their happen ending.
