About this ebook

When a lady vigilante seeks the help of a dashing yet reclusive lord, an amorous adventure begins in this Regency romance.

A rabble rouser for justice, Lady Sophia Barnes is on a mission to protect the ladies of Madame Hartley's brothel from a mysterious killer. A master of deception and disguise, her fate is in her own hands—along with a loaded gun. All she needs now is instruction on how to shoot it. But only one person can help her: Damien Beecham, Viscount Quint, the man who broke her heart years ago . . .

The last thing Lord Quint needs is an intrusion on his privacy, especially from the beautiful, exasperating woman he's never stopped wanting. A woman with a perilously absurd request, no less! For Damien is fighting a battle of his own—one has secret as his feelings for Lady Sophia. But as Sophie’s beauty and persistence break down his defenses, Quint knows that he will die trying to protect her.

“The romance is delectable as sensual love scenes balance the well-woven mystery subplot.” —Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

I have had the privilege of reading Joanna Shupe's first two books within the Wicked Deceptions series The Courtesan Duchess and The Harlot Countess. The Lady Hellion is book 3 in the series. Each and every heroine from this series is capable of looking after herself and is not afraid to stand up for herself. Ms. Shupe is consistent in writing strong-minded, take charge women leads for this series. However she does so in such a way that you not only see the touch side but their vulnerabilities as well. She also manages to create the perfect hero to balance the heroine out. I love strong and assertive female characters am grateful that this series has plenty to chose from. Have been enjoying reading these books and anticipating the next one. I received this story for an honest review.

Good storyline with an criminal twist plot of Jack the Ripper just slow but it was a beautiful read. Love conquer all

Loved this book too. Great read. Hero is unique. Heroine is strong. Loved it.
