From Booklist
*Starred Review* The powerful, nefarious Thomas Kane, earl of Stanhope, and his colleagues are responsible for the death of Merry Anders' mother. So Merry, now famous as the "French" actress Monique Fremont, wants revenge. The same men are responsible for the ruin and suicide of Gabriel Manning's father. Gabriel, who's inherited a title and become rich from privateering, lives only to fulfill the oath of revenge his father made him take when he was 10 years old. Neither Merry nor Gabriel knows the other's plan to make Kane pay for his crimes. And even after they meet and fall in love, and in spite of the fact that the earl of Stanhope is Merry's father, nothing can extinguish their mutual thirst for revenge. Once again, Potter, author most recently of
Broken Honor (2001), proves that she's adept at penning both enthralling historicals and captivating contemporary novels.
