About this ebook

"I am in awe of her talent."— Julia Quinn

In USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long’s thrilling new romance in the Palace of Rogues series, an infamous privateer’s limits are put to the test when he’s trapped during a raging tempest with a prickly female at the Grand Palace on the Thames.

He clawed his way up from the gutters of St. Giles to the top of a shadowy empire. Feared and fearsome, battered and brilliant, nothing shocks Lorcan St. Leger—not even the discovery of an aristocratic woman escaping out a window near the London docks on the eve of the storm of the decade. They find shelter at a boarding house called the Grand Palace on the Thames—only to find greater dangers await inside.

Desperate, destitute, and jilted, Lady Daphne Worth knows the clock is ticking on her last chance to save herself and her family: an offer of a loveless marriage. But while the storm rages and roads flood, she and the rogue who rescued her must pose as husband and wife in order to share the only available suite.

Crackling enmity gives way to incendiary desire—and certain heartbreak: Lorcan is everything she never dreamed she’d wanted, but he can never be what she needs. But risk is child’s play to St. Leger. And if the stakes are a lifetime of loving and being loved by Daphne, he’ll move any mountain, confront any old nemesis, to turn “never” into forever.

Ratings and reviews

This book is absolutely entertaining!!! It took me a minute of giggling to get over Dot and Mr. Pike’s first scene & that scene was very earlier in the book. Delacorte knows everyone and his excitement keeps a smile on your face! A restless aristocrat & other guests get in trouble with the inn owners & their punishment is genius! If you enjoy fake marriage, forced proximity, oranges, playful vulgarity, small daily gestures, stars, & thoughtful gift giving, then I highly recommend this book!!!

I am sitting here crying my eyes out with happiness. I love Lorcan!! I love Daphne!! I love their delicate dance throughout the whole book. The birthday thing....my heart. Every book in the series is my favorite when I am reading it but this one...this one is my true favorite....until the next one of course!

Lovely!
