Lady Rises

By Renee Bernard

Book Overview

LADY RISES serves up the next relentless installment in the Black Rose Trilogy and leaves no doubt that Hell hath no fury like a woman wronged but when that woman is Raven Wells-the Devil himself would rather keep out of her way. From the ashes of LADY FALLS, Raven Wells is transformed into Lady Serena Wellcott. Now with wealth and power all her own, she is the founder of the Black Rose-a secret society dedicated to securing justice for women who have been abused or wronged in the private corridors of Victorian society. She has dedicated her life to revenge, honing her skills at the bequest of others but biding her time until she has the two men she loathes most in this world in her sights. Sir Phillip Warrick has scars of his own from their fateful encounter years before and his heart has never healed from the loss of his beautiful Raven and the irrevocable mistake of brutally ending their affair. But when he found no trace of her, he let himself believe that she was dead. Except Phillip isn't that lucky. When he is introduced to Lady Serena Wellcott at his cousin's country home, his world begins to implode. Because once again he has a tigress by the tail, except this time, it's a dangerous mix of passion and poison when it becomes clear that what the lady wants most is his head on a platter. If only he didn't still love her with every fiber of his being... In a dance of desire, Serena has her own struggles reconciling the man she once loved with the irresistible rake she has vowed to hate. Vengeance is its own mistress and it's a race to the finish as the Black Rose takes on a quest to carve out justice and find mercy even where it's been forgotten. Love may rule but Lady Serena Wellcott doesn't believe in playing fairly and she also doesn't believe in surrender. ** From acclaimed USA Today bestselling author, Renee Bernard, comes a new trilogy of gothic power and twisted sensuality.
