From USA Today Bestseller Grace Callaway comes a steamy enemies-to-lovers historical romance with a secret identity, a cozy village that might be cursed, and a love worth fighting for!

The only thing hotter than their animosity is their attraction.

Lady Gigi Harrington has a plan: save her sleepy village from ruin and prove she's more than just a pretty debutante. The arrival of arrogant industrialist Conrad Godwin jeopardizes her efforts. A powerful man with a secret agenda (and identity), Conrad is flummoxed when the spirited miss dares to get in his way. Gigi and Conrad soon find themselves locking horns—and lips. But as their enemies-to-lovers battle gives way to sizzling passion, dangerous vendettas threaten their love and their lives. Will their enemies to lovers romance lead to happily ever after…and unlock the secrets of the village’s ancient prophecy?

Advance Praise

PRAISE FOR GRACE’S BOOKS

“A very hot and perfectly paced page turner.”

-NPR

“An engaging story which is more than just a romance: it’s also a captivating period piece with a likable hero and inventive storyline that unfolds at a steady pace but is still rich with detail.”

-The Booklife Prize by Publisher’s Weekly

“This writer to me is in the leagues of Johanna Lindsey, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn and Amanda Quick.”

-Kathie, Amazon Reviews

“The Queen of Steam in historical romance.”

-Romance Library

“Grace Callaway writes the way Loretta Chase would if she got kind of dark and VERY naughty.”

-Nicole, Goodreads

“I always look forward to Grace’s next book, as any of her stories easily make the top 5 of my ‘Desert Island’ reads, and she is the only historical author on the list.”

-Allison, Goodreads

“In my experience of reading hundreds of HR books by hundreds of authors, no one, NOT ONE SINGLE AUTHOR, EVEN MY FAVES LIKE KLEYPAS OR HOYT OR DARE, can write sex scenes like Callaway does.”

-Sara, Goodreads

“A novel that sparked joy. It made me smile, it also made me read into the early morning.”

-Jan, Goodreads

“We all have our top ten list of favorite romances. It has been forever since I have read something that enthralled me enough to add to my list. The book must be unique, something that resonates with me on an elemental level; it must have a beautiful storyline, intense passion, and unforgettable characters. Pippa and the Prince of Secrets checks all those boxes.”

-Reading Rebel Reviews

“Absolutely outstanding from the characters and emotion to the intricate plot woven with twists and turns I couldn’t see coming, I couldn’t put it down.”

-Alyza38, BookBub

“[Callaway’s] love scenes are INCREDIBLE. By far the best thing Callaway does, however, is plot and character. Her stories are thoroughly researched and cleverly written. They are enchanting and unique and passionate. Funny and fierce and dangerous. In short, they’re amazing. I bought her entire back catalog after reading only ONE of her novels, and now I preorder every new one she writes.”

-Lee Lee Loves Books

“I was captivated from beginning to end.”

Featured Reviews

Conrad is a ruthless businessman with secrets. He runs across Gigi and finds her irresistible.
He has goals for revenge but her faith in her village and support throws him so he has to find another way.
Their relationship is tumultuous and ever so enticingly sensual with many encounters.
But obstacles abound to keep them from moving forward including her family.
Loved the storyline and the ongoing Ravenswood family from the parents with their own story to the challenges of her brothers.
Highly Recommend.

Well this was absolutely delightful. Gigi is the daughter of a previous Callaway couple and the youngest in the family. She’s protected and cosseted and a bit spoiled but she hungers for more. Wealthy businessman Conrad Godwin has secrets and a deep desire for vengeance. His past is dark and full of scars, physical and emotional. I loved watching these two match wits while fighting and then giving into their attraction. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.

What a fabulous historical enemies to lovers romance!

Gigi and Conrad are at odds over a spa making them enemies, but they also share a a sizzling secret. How could I not fall hard for these two?! Their chemistry and banter was off the charts. The passion between Gigi and Conrad could light an entire village. I gushed over these two HARD! I liked how their romance developed and thought these two were perfect for each other.

The plot and the curse element were interesting and well done. I liked that we got more of the curse explained and am excited for more to be revealed. The plot had plenty of turns to keep me guessing to.

The spice was spectacular. I mean with their chemistry, how could it not be?

A great installment in this series! I cannot wait for the next one.

I was so excited to revisit Chudleigh Bottoms in this second instalment of the Blackwood Legacy series.

And Grace Callaway does it again with her combination of spice, intrigue, family and banter.

Sassy Gigi and “nothing can touch me” Conrad were well matched. We first met Gigi in book one of the series and it was fun to see her FMC energy come out in Two Secrets to Surrender.

Poor Conrad and his secrets. You know that's never going to go well. At times I felt as if I was in a slow motion car crash…you know when you're yelling at the page? I had a few of those!

I enjoyed seeing more of the Blackwood family in this book. They are certainly getting attached to Chudleigh Bottoms. James and Evie's story is up next.

This was another well written story where our heroine is so much more than the decorative accessory society would have had her be. She's got a brain and she uses it, not for personal gain but for the causes of this otherwise forgotten village. She is powerful and patient. Our hero cannot help but change his mind about his original ulterior motives. The reader will find themself changing their mind about him too.

When Conrad and Gigi meet, neither knows who the other is. Gigi surprises Conrad while he's bathing in a waterfall. They share a kiss before she runs away.
Conrad, a ruthless financier, is hiding his true identity. Turns out that he's in town for revenge on one of its citizens.
At first, Conrad and Gigi clash every time they come into contact. But, they also kiss every time they're in contact, too. There's an irresistible and fiery chemistry between these two.
This was a sexy, good story. I can't wait for James and Evie's book.
