About this ebook

The final, breathtaking novel in Elisa Braden’s Rescued from Ruin series is the story readers have been clamoring for: Fragile yet unbroken, Hannah Gray is embarking on a husband hunt … if only Lady Wallingham hadn’t invited a wolf to the party.


All she wants is an ordinary life

A cruel past left Hannah Gray with one simple longing—normalcy. Normal ladies ride and waltz without fear. They have safe, normal husbands to give them safe, normal kisses. After years of healing, she’s ready to find “normal” for herself, and Lady Wallingham’s house party is the perfect place to begin. Perfect, that is, except for the cynical wolf-in-rogue’s-clothing whose every hungry glance threatens to crack her armor and pierce her fragile heart.


All he wants is to forget her

Bow Street runner Jonas Hawthorn vowed never to see the cold, haughty Miss Gray again. A year ago, he nearly died trying to protect her, only to be dismissed like a lowly servant. But soon, he’ll have land and servants of his own. He just has to locate an old dowager’s stolen goods, collect his prize, and avoid the beauty who haunts him like a moonlit sky.


All it takes is a single kiss 

He never meant to touch her. She never meant to reveal the truth. But once he’s tasted the heat and longing hidden beneath her icy mask, the only mystery this Bow Street man burns to solve is how a roguish wolf might win the elusive Miss Gray for himself.

Two things I must disclose first: 1. I received this book as an ARC (and squeeled when I did hahaha!); and 2. I can't speak highly enough of this author. She just gives me everything I want. I'd been wondering if we'd get a story about this couple, but after book number 9, I knew it was a guaranteed. Truth be told, I wasn't sure it was a story I was going to enjoy as much as the others, and I think the book 2 will always be my absolute favourite, because (shock horror) I'm a bit of a bookish/awkward/blunt combo like Jane. However Hannah's story is just the definition of bravery to me. And I'm so grateful (in the way you get when you're totally absorbed in a fictitious world haha) that the Huxley's came into Hannah's life. In this story, our hero is described as very wolfish, and I have to agree. Vigilant and hyper protective, I think he's his own worst torture. Meanwhile, we've had allusions to Hannah's shocking past, but it was still incredibly confronting and made me wonder if the book might benefit from a trigger warning around torture. My absolute hands down favourite feature of the book was oddly not the principle characters, but the opportunity to visit with many of the other characters from the series as they all gather at "the Dragon's" home for a house party. On that note too, it took me a couple of chapters to realise the extra little bit Elisa has added in sharing the Dragon's story with us. That had me tearing up immediately. I've always enjoyed the quotes at the start of each chapter, but you just don't get more poignant than that. So the long and the short of it, a great read, a little spicy in a tasteful way, increadibly heart tuggy the whole way through and a satisfying end to the series... though I certainly won't say no if more pops up one day hahaha!

About the author

Reading romance novels came easily to Elisa Braden. Writing them? That took a little longer. After graduating with degrees in creative writing and history, Elisa spent too many years in “real” jobs writing T-shirt copy … and other people’s resumes … and articles about giftware displays. But that was before she woke up and started dreaming about the very unreal job of being a romance novelist. Better late than never.

Elisa lives in the Pacific Northwest, where you’re constitutionally required to like the colors green and gray. Good thing she does. Other items on the “like” list include cute dogs, strong coffee, and epic movies. Of course, her favorite thing of all is hearing from readers who love her characters as much as she does. If you're one of those, get in touch at www.elisabraden.com.
