is the same villain determined to ruin Maggie. What begins as a
practical alliance to defeat a common enemy soon evolves into a romance
between two wounded people determined to beat the odds.

Maggie risk their lives and fortunes for the good of the city. It will
require all their wit and ingenuity to protect everything--and
everyone--they hold dear.

My Review
This is the final book in this great series, based on fact but brought to life with this fictional story.
We
are back with Liam Blackstone, he is still adjusting to his life of
privilege, after spending most of it as a kidnap victim. In this read
the author has placed Maggie Molinaro in his path, a smart young woman
whom with her Uncle has developed a crafted ice cream successful
business.
Of course, life can't be smooth running, and greed does
raise its ugly head here, in the form of a real person, and according
to the author's notes some of the happenings were real.
We are offered a bit of sweet romance, a horrible bully with hired thugs, and those who want to help the less fortunate.
A page turner from gifted author Elizabeth Camden!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
