ROGUE REDEEMED

As Washington burns, Callista Brooke is trapped in the battle between her native England and her adopted homeland. She is on the verge of losing everything, including her life, when a handsome Englishman cuts through the violent crowd to claim that she is his. Callie falls into her protector’s arms, recognizing that he is no stranger, but the boy she’d once loved, a lifetime ago.

Lord George Gordon Audley had been Callie’s best friend, and it was to Gordon she turned in desperation to avoid a loathsome arranged marriage. But the repercussions of his gallant attempt to rescue her sent Callie packing to Jamaica, and Gordon on a one way trip to the penal colony of Australia. Against all odds, Gordon survived. Finding Callie is like reclaiming his tarnished soul, and once again he vows to do whatever is necessary to protect her and those she loves. But the innocent friendship they shared as children has become a dangerous passion that may save or destroy them when they challenge the aristocratic society that exiled them both.

Praise for New York Times Bestselling Author Mary Jo Putney’s Rogues Redeemed series “RITA Award-winning Putney begins her new Rogues Redeemed series on a high note with an impeccably written book that realistically integrates the cost of the Napoleonic Wars into a compelling story that neatly balances dangerous adventures and passionate romance.” -Booklist “

A thrilling, romantic tale.” -Bookpage,
Top Pick of the Month “Putney’s multifaceted and well-developed characters add depth to this romance, which is complete with the trials of war and the promise of future series installments.” -Publishers Weekly

Fate separates best friends and neighbors Callistra and Gordon. Narrator Beverley Crick develops a sweet-voiced Callistra from early womanhood to her recent unexpected widowhood. Even dealing with her great loss, Calistra’s voice continues to ring proud and clear. Now this strong woman who has been molded by so many challenges finds herself once again face to face with Gordon, who she thought was dead. Callistra immediately recognizes his unforgettable commanding voice, so well enunciated and tinged with a British accent. Putney spins their love story through dialogue, which Crick delivers in distinct voices. While the War of 1812 rages in the background, their speech remains the focus for listeners.
