Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan is back with the enchanting third book in the Duke Hunt series about a marriage of convenience between a fierce female blacksmith and a handsome scoundrel.A devil’s bargain burns the hottest….For years, fiercely independent Gwen Cully has worked as the village blacksmith, keeping her family’s business going. But when a local rival threatens her livelihood, Gwen has nowhere to turn ... until a devastatingly handsome fugitive takes shelter in her shop and sparks fly. Unrepentant rogue Kellan Fox’s entire existence has been a dangerous game of deception that leads him into a fight for survival—and straight into the arms of a tall, fiery beauty. When Gwen protects him from an angry mob of villagers, Kellan sees the perfect solution to both their troubles. A marriage—in name only—that will last a single year. Only a marriage of convenience can’t hide their searing attraction. It glows hotter than Gwen’s forge and reaches deep below the tempting mask Kellan wears for the world. With every sizzling glance and scorching kiss, Gwen surrenders more of herself to the molten passion she finds in Kellan’s strong embrace. But can she ever truly trust her heart to a scoundrel?

Goodreads review by Jessica on November 13, 2022

I think this is my favorite of the series so far! The heroine was so refreshing and I loved how she had a "man's" job and was never seen as beautiful because she's tall and has muscles from working as a blacksmith.

Well, this was a disappointment. I loved the first two in this series and dropped all things for my promised female blacksmith and it flopped. Kellan Fox is a swindler. He impersonates people to steal from them and is generally a shady dude. Gwen is a badass blacksmith who takes care of herself. Why......more
