A Lady’s Ruinous Secret (Scandalous Secrets Book 2)

A sweeping historical romance with class-crossing heat, a calculated heroine playing a dangerous game, and a hero who never planned to lose his heart.

An orchestrated ruination.
A secret revenge.
An incendiary love.

Lady Beatrice Walford never thought becoming ruined would be this hard. But she’ll do anything to save her brother and herself from their depraved father — even strike a bargain with a man far outside her gilded world. What she doesn’t realize is that the irresistible Jack Doherty is dangerous on far more levels than one.

Jack Doherty is finally closing in on his aristocratic prey. He clawed his way up from the streets to powerful enough to elbow into the ton and exact a revenge years in the making. When he crosses paths with the enticing Lady Beatrice — London’s Ice Queen — he strikes a deal: her knowledge of the elite in exchange for his help. It brings him closer to what he wants than any scheme before.

What begins as a cold transaction becomes a passion neither of them can contain. As they embark on a dangerous journey where the stakes couldn’t be higher, the sacrifices required of them grow more impossible — and more necessary — by the hour.

Filled with revenge, ruination, and a passion. A Lady’s Ruinous Secret peels back another layer of the mystery hiding in plain sight at the heart of the Scandalous Secrets series.
