She can’t afford to love anyone. He will never marry. They can never have a future…or can they?
A fallen lady with a heart of gold and a spine of steel.
Long
ago, Madame Juliet Thomson was exiled from her family. A fallen lady,
she’s worked in one of London’s most famous gaming hells for the last
six years. An arrangement that suited her well until an over-zealous
lord determines she is his property. Which she is most decidedly not.
But convincing the man is another matter, and she needs desperately to
disappear for a while—somewhere safe, somewhere she cannot be found.
When opportunities present themselves, take them.
Evander
Docherty wants one thing. To set his future bride in front of his
beloved grandfather before the earl dies. A last wish fulfilled. Not
that he actually plans to marry the lass. Nor that he even has a
fiancée. But for his grandfather, Evan would do anything. Even strike a
bargain with a fallen lady.
An attraction not to be denied.
While
danger rears on the journey north to Scotland, Evan and Juliet quickly
find the attraction between them is spinning out of control. But she
can’t afford to love anyone. And he will never marry. They can never
have a future…or can they? AMAZON LINK

What an impossible situation it was for both of the main characters. It had me wondering how in the world anything would work out for the two of them being together. It's sure to cause other readers to feel the same I'm sure.
The book information sure had it right about Juliet having a heart of gold and a spine of steel. That was shown time after time; shown not told. Evan was a big man with a driving sense of honor. When he gave a promise/a vow he kept it. Even if it was to his own hurt. My jaw dropped when the reason why he would never marry came out. It was more than I thought it would be. Evan had felt plenty of hurt over the years. And one of those hurts comes from one of his family members but I'm going to let the reader "see" that like I did.
Things get really dangerous towards the end with a rescue in the nick of time. It also included an excellent Epilogue.
