About this ebook

A disgraced bad boy has his chance for revenge against the beautiful society girl who chose money over his love

 

In the third book in New York Times bestseller and USAToday bestselling Texas romance author Jean Brashear's The Gallaghers of Morning Star series, the identity of the secret baby is revealed in a sexy, emotional reunion romance.

Everyone thinks Lacey DeMille is the next thing to royalty, a society girl with beauty, brains and money—but sexy Texas bad boy Devlin Marlowe knows better. Twenty years after being exiled in disgrace for daring to want her, the boy from the wrong side of the tracks has sweet revenge in his grasp...for only he knows that her whole life is built on a lie.

And revenge may be more costly than either of them can imagine.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars I really enjoyed this book. I read it after the first one as I was more interested in Dev's story than Mitch's as you know more about him from book one. I have seen others say these are stand alone books, I would say not to read this one if you don't want to know the full story to book one. It did not have much info on book two though so I feel you could read this one before it. I took half a star away because it seemed like the amount of time that had passed changed a few times.

Love this trilogy, great stories!

Loved the series!!!
