Queen of My Hart

Headstrong Hart, Book 2

By: Emily Royal

Narrated by: Polly Lee

Sometimes, a losing hand can be the greatest victory of all.

Born into poverty, self-made banker Dexter Hart is now one of the wealthiest men in London. His ambition is to marry a title—and who better than the daughter of his enemy Viscount Alderley, the man who once whipped him as a boy, and on whom he vowed revenge? But Dexter's plan backfires, and he finds himself tricked into marrying Alderley's illegitimate daughter instead.

Margaret Alder has known heartbreak and betrayal, and has lived in exile and disgrace for eight years. When her natural father rips her away from her home, he bullies her into marrying a stranger. The marriage thrusts Meggie into a world she doesn't understand, with a bridegroom even more reluctant than she—a world of society, traditions, and etiquette, where even the servants don't hide their scorn. But she soon learns that beneath her husband's ruthless exterior lies a passionate man who renders her breathless with his fiery kisses and skillful touch.

But when Meggie's past returns to haunt her, she must decide whether she can trust the husband she's growing to love—or risk losing him forever.

Contains mature themes.

So good!

I thought I would hate this book. The H was unlikeable in the previous book and I almost passed. What a loss that would have been.

This was SO good! Well written, actually surprising at times! And the twists!!!

Very hot.
Wonderfully redeeming.
Excellent.
Creditworthy.
