Description
An heiress on the run . . .
Stranded in London with only the rain-soaked wedding dress on her back, American dollar princess ARABELLE FROST is on the run from a dangerous man. Drenched and desperate, she’s sure her dismal night can’t get worse . . . until a rogue from her past charges to the rescue. As handsome as he is arrogant, Jon Mason nearly stole her heart. She’d hoped to never again lay eyes on the tempting yet vexing rake, but she needs a place to hide. And fast. But falling for him is out of the question. Especially when an angry would-be groom with a dark secret is hot on her trail.
The rogue who never got over her . . .
Tycoon JONATHAN MASON has everything a sensible man could want. Blasted shame he had to complicate matters by playing the hero. Now, the beautiful heiress he’d left behind after a whirlwind romance is under his roof. Arabelle Frost is exasperating. Challenging. And utterly enchanting. But she can’t hide her fear of the fortune-hunting scoundrel who pursued her through the city on a bleak and rainy night. Determined to protect her, Jon knows the risks. After all, he’s no stranger to taking chances. But with each day that passes, it's harder not to fall for her.
And loving Arabelle would be the biggest risk of all.

What an enjoyable read! Third book in the series, A Rogue of Her Own is a second chance romance between Arabelle and Jon. Tera Kingstone has written a suspenseful story, filled it with characters that come off the pages and pull you into their tale, steamy passion, a story that is well-written and a plott full of suspense. It's a suspenseful rollercoaster ride with tension-building twist and turns as Jon try to protect Arabelle from the villain who is after her.
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving a review
Absolutely loved! A great combination of intriguing suspense and swoon worthy romance.
Arabelle and Jonathan were wonderful characters. I enjoyed their story a lot. He's a reformed rake and she's a runaway bride, but wait there's more because this is also a second chance romance. I was served with great angst, longing and chemistry. The romance was swoony and paced perfectly. Their dynamic is entertaining and fun. These two were perfect.
The villain was good and the suspense was written well. I was definitely hooked from the beginning. I couldn't put this book down.
I enjoyed the setting. It added a mysterious feel to the suspense and helped rise the stakes for the characters.
Would recommend! Can be read as a standalone.
