About this ebook

A former spy with dangerous secrets fears nothing...except his dark desire for the delicate virgin he cannot have.

"It had me captivated from the beginning with a hot alpha and dark sensual promises; all mixed in with romance and a gripping mystery." -Nicola, Goodreads 

"Gabriel and Thea from this book were two of the best characters I read this year." -Romantic Historical Reviews

A Prisoner of His Past 

Gabriel Ridgley, the Marquess of Tremont, is dubbed The Angel for his pristine reputation. Yet he harbors a dark secret: a spy during the Napoleonic Wars, he bears deep and dangerous scars. When he meets Miss Dorothea Kent, a delicate virgin, he is torn between carnal desire—and the need to protect her from his inner demons. 

A Captive of Her Passions 

Despite a frail constitution, Thea Kent has strength of spirit and heart. A wild attraction blooms between her and Gabriel, a widowed aristocrat with tortured eyes, yet he resists the pull between them. When fate places his disabled son in her care, she’s determined to guard the boy—and unravel the mystery of Gabriel’s past. 

Freed by Love and Passion

Someone is killing Gabriel’s former colleagues, and he may be next on the list. As the desperate hunt for the villain begins, he and Thea get entangled in intrigue, betrayal, and desire too powerful to resist. Will trust help them to survive… and true love set them free?

Grace's books feature steamy historical romance, fun and feel-good happily ever afters, and exciting mystery and adventure. Her books are standalones which can be enjoyed as part of her interconnected series set in the same universe.

Ratings and reviews

Another winner from Calloway. Suspense, romance, strong women and growly, protective men. Cross over characters from other books gives a feeling of familiarity. Winner.

I keep reading and reading these books I stay up way to late but it's worth every page I turn! worth every penny I spent on it! it's a really good story!

Enjoyed Thea & Tremonts story! Liking this whole series but so far Violets has been my favorite!
