Two damaged hearts learn there's a fine line between love and hate in
a Wicked Wallflowers novel from USA Today bestselling author Christi
Caldwell.
Gertrude, the eldest Killoran sister, has spent a lifetime being
underestimated--especially by her own family. She may seem as vulnerable
as a kitten, but given the chance, she can be as fierce as a tiger. Her
adopted brother, Stephen, has just been snatched back by his true
father, and she'll be damned if she relinquishes the boy to the man
reviled throughout London as the Mad Marquess.
Still haunted by a deadly tragedy that left him publicly despised, Lord
Edwin holds only hatred for the Killorans--the people he believes
kidnapped his son. And not one of them will ever see the boy again. But
when Gertrude forces her way into the household and stubbornly insists
that she remain as Stephen's governess, Edwin believes he may have found
someone madder than himself.
With every moment he shares with the tenderhearted Gertrude, Edwin's
anger softens into admiration...and more. Is it possible that the woman
he loathed may be the only person who can heal his broken soul?
