And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees... Famed and brilliant, Lady Alexandra Lane has always known how to look out for to herself. But nobody would ever expect that she has darkness in her past—one that she pays a blackmailer to keep buried. Now, with her family nearing bankruptcy, Alexandra strikes upon a solution: Get married to one of the empire’s most wealthy eligible bachelors. Even if he does have the reputation of a devil. LOVE TAKES NO PRISONERS Piers Gedrick Atherton, the Duke of Redmayne, is seeking revenge and the first step is securing a bride. Winning a lady’s hand is not so easy, however, for a man known as the Terror of Torcliff. Then, Alexandra enters his life like a bolt of lightning.

“Well-written and beautifully performed, this audiobook is what you hope for in a historical romance…Narrator Derek Perkins gives the Duke a deep, sensual voice and Alexandra a husky, feminine one. Perkins makes the villains sound villainous and Alexandra’s friends sound smart and easily recognizable. His British accents are stellar, and his acting convincing and entertaining. This is a most enjoyable listening experience.”

“A heartwarming romance. Even more empowering is the friendship among the three women, who model female solidarity…An un-put-down-able story that combines sensuality, tenderness, slightly far-fetched dramatic scenes, and memorable characters.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Byrne rises admirably to the challenge of creating a hero who maintains dangerous alpha energy even through self-restraint and careful adherence to consent in this slow-burn late-Victorian romance…This is a fine study of healing after sexual trauma, with tender care and patience as the keys to recovery.”
