[E]ngrossing sequel to 2010's Red Hot Fury...Mackenzie's writing is clean and clever; the plot is twisty and intriguing; and Riss's charm and sass elevate her above many other fantasy heroines. --Publishers Weekly Starred Review

About the Author

Kasey Mackenzie lives with her husband and son in St. Louis, Missouri; home of the Gateway Arch, the baseball Cardinals, and the world's greatest thin-crust pizza.  Kasey was one of those students who always had her nose in a book--so no big surprise when she was voted "Teacher's Pet" in her high school yearbook.  Today, she is a voracious reader of fantasy, romance, suspense, and "soft" science fiction.  She adores her German shepherd puppy, two cats, playing softball, and has recently taken up knitting.  So far she can cast on, do the knit stitch, and cast off.  Hey, it's a start!

Product Description

Lady Anne Marston, now 27, is considered a spinster, but secretly, she hasn't given up on finding 'the one'. Despite her disregard for London society, she joins her younger half-sister, Evie, for a visit, in which Evie plans to find a husband. Instead, it's Anne who crosses paths with the infamous (and drunken) Stephen Parker-Roth, a.k.a. the 'King of Hearts,' because of his skill at seduction. When an impromptu kiss is witnessed, Stephens steps up and pretends they are betrothed - an idea that surprisingly, appeals to them both.
