Publisher Description
A scarred lady, living in the outskirts of society. A hardened rogue brought up from the worst of humanity. One seeks revenge. One seeks redemption. Neither is prepared for a love that will defy all odds.
A scarred lady, living in the fringes.
Lady Alton knows she doesn’t fit into polite society. Her scars determined that long ago and marrying a viscount never helped the matter. Now a widow, Torrie is adrift, knowing peace and a family will never be hers. Luckily, she has one hobby, obsessing on the man that helped to kill her family nine years ago—Mr. Robert Lipinstein—who is back on English soil. When she discovers he is about to board a ship—still not accountable for his crimes—she follows him to the docks.
A hardened rogue brought up from the worst of humanity.
Roe Lipinstein has one thing on his mind—to get on his ship and catch the Minerva—the smuggling ship that holds the crew that killed half his mates. The ship—and the men aboard—need to sink to a watery grave and he’s now within striking distance. He has no time to save a fool woman from a hoard of sailors at the docks. Of course, what he should do, and what he actually does, have always been very different things.
A reckoning no one was prepared for.
When Roe yanks Torrie from the frothing band of ruffians, he’s faced with a reckoning he wasn’t prepared to have. He served seven years in Newgate Prison for killing Torrie’s family. A crime he didn’t commit. Not that she’ll believe him. Ever.
But the attraction between them cannot be denied. And if she manages to crack her heart open to this hardened rouge, a love that will defy all odds could be theirs.

by K.J Jackson
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and Torrie balances between the two even though she is driven by the insatiable need to make Roe pay for every bit of pain she has felt, from the physical to the emotional. They both obsess after each other in a bid to find closure. For a time Torrie was content in living her life as Lady Alton, she married to bring some semblance of living to her life. Since her husband’s death she’s driven by revenge, to make Robert Lipinstein “Roe” pay for all the suffering in her life especially now that he’s been released from Newgate prison!
Robert “Roe” Lipinstein has been wrongfully accused of murder, sentenced to 7 years in Newgate prison, his life a living hell, and he’d gladly do more time if it would erase the pain his cowardice inflicted on Torrie. Fate has a way of mending hearts and bring forgiveness in the strangest way. When Torrie follows Roe to the docks and is caught up in a violent situation Roe doesn’t miss the opportunity to save her. The fateful day their eyes met his in cowardice hers in pain sealed their fate even though they had no idea!
“Tell me that you will fight with every fiber of your being to stay alive for me—always. Because I need you. I need you like nothing else in this world. You are the heart-pounding destiny that I always dreamed of, but never thought I could have.”
This is K.J Jackson at her writing best! She’s the BOMB at wrenching emotional stories and she’s the reason I read romance! These two had so much to grieve for and so so much healing and mending of emotions. Torrie’s scars were visible but Roe’s were just as deep and painful, I loved these two and I so enjoyed watching them find peace and the love they both deserved!
I recieved a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.
