A Second Chance She Fears...
Lady June Fairchild, the Countess of Windermere, is trapped in a loveless and cruel marriage, haunted by a secret from her past. Before she became the wife of an earl, she was married once before... and her husband was never confirmed dead.
Now, nearly ten years later, the unimaginable has happened. Her first husband has returned—but not to reclaim her love. This time, he seeks revenge for the heart she broke.
From the Shadows of Betrayal...
The night he pledged his life to the woman he adored, the Duke of Tulloch was forced to disappear. Upon his return, he discovered his bride had swiftly remarried an earl, branding her a brazen bigamist in his eyes.
Ten years later, this jilted, kilted Highland husband emerges from the shadows with a single purpose: revenge. Hardened by betrayal and time, he is no longer the young man who once loved June. Now, he's a formidable duke, ready to unleash his wrath and reclaim his honor, come hell or high water.
Can two hearts bound by fate and torn apart by secrets find a way to trust and love once more?

MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I devoured this book within a couple hours. (I think most of the books in The Rake Review series has been novella length. Which would make this a great series to read if you like regency romance, but aren’t looking for full length books.) I absolutely loved this story, even though there was a lot of heaviness to it. This is not normally I story I would enjoy (take a look at the CW/TW above) but I felt captivated by June and Cameron’s story the moment I started reading.
I really loved how Fenna approached this story! I felt June’s pain and heartache at having to withstand her husband’s cruelty, physically and emotionally. I felt the chemistry instantly between June and Cameron, and I was rooting for them from the get go.
I really think this is a beautiful story, even though I was holding my breath at points! If you like second chance romance, regency romance, I highly recommend giving this a try!
Thank you Fenna Edgewood and the other Brazen Belles for this advance copy!
