Or that she’d never heard a language other than English, or seen a play, or listened to an orchestra. It didn’t matter that she didn’t know the sounds of the city or the smell of the ocean. She’d never strayed far from this enormous manor house, tucked into the quiet Essex countryside two days’ walk northeast of London, where rolling green hills turned to wheat as autumn crept across the land. It didn’t matter that she was unqualified to speak of the wide world. There was nothing in the wide world like his laugh. All preorders from WORD come signed, with extra Bareknuckle Bastards-themed swag, and the feel-good experience of helping a local independent bookstore in NYC during the COVID crisis. Preorder Daring and the Duke at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, from your local indie, or from my local indie, WORD in Brooklyn. But revenge requires keeping Ewan close, and soon her enemy seems to be something else altogether―something she can’t resist, even as he threatens the world she's built, the life she's claimed… and the heart she swore he'd never steal again. Unable to forgive the past, she vows to take her revenge. Reconciliation is the last thing Grace wants. A long-ago gamble may have lost her forever, but Ewan will go to any lengths to win Grace back… and make her his duchess. Single-minded and ruthless, Ewan, Duke of Marwick, has spent a decade searching for the woman he never stopped loving. Grace has a sharp mind and a powerful right hook and has never met an enemy she could not best, until the man she once loved returns. Betrayed as a child by her only love and raised on the streets, she now hides in plain sight as queen of London’s darkest corners. Grace Condry has spent a lifetime running from her past.
