By beloved USA Today bestselling author Joanna Shupe, the fourth installment in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series about a secret affair between a free-spirited heiress and an uptight duke which turns more passionate than either could have imagined. A rebellious heiress. A duke in dire straits. An anonymous midnight tryst. To escape the shackles of marriage, Nellie Young purposely ruined her reputation a long time ago. Now she dedicates herself to hedonistic pleasures only, like kissing a handsome stranger in the ocean under the moonlight... To save his estate, the proper Duke of Lockwood must marry the perfect bride--wealthy, with an unblemished reputation. While in New York he's the perfect gentleman, and no one knows he's suppressing his darkest desires. The last thing he needs is another scandal. Except Nellie sees through Lockwood's charade, straight to the real man underneath. This uptight duke is far more than he lets on, and she can't resist him. Their secret affair turns scorching, far more than either expected. And when his beautiful rebel finds an unconventional cause, Lockwood has to decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything to keep her.

"This can easily be classified as a read in a day book. The writing is simple and the storyline is fine but not outstanding. Just somewhat entertaining. Considering how many books the author is written I was hoping for something with a little more thought and interest."

"<b>“Love isn’t pretty. It’s a terrible, terrible thing that tears you up inside. But it can also be wonderful. It’s the source of life’s greatest happiness, to have that one person who understands you better than anyone else.”</b><br/><br/>This book was such a good read, I enjoyed jumping into the world of Nellie and Lockwood. This has so many themes that I love in books. The banter between Nellie and Lockwood was so good especially when they were in their enemies-to-lover era. I love great banter and fun moments and this didn’t disappoint. <br/><br/>Nellie was a great character, I loved how strong and liberated she was. She’s independent, passionate and advocates for what she wants and I loved seeing her development in this book. I like that Lockwood fell first and supported her. <br/><br/>The romance and chemistry in this book was on another level I loved the enemies with benefits ish thing they had going on and liked the struggle that Nellie had with expressing her feelings and emotions. If you're looking for good spicy moments, great characters, and story this book has it!! <br/>This is my first book by Joanna Shupe and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series and more of her book<br/><br/>Thank you to the publisher for this arc for an honest review."
