In this charming regency romance, a dog in need of rescue brings together a young debutante and a mysterious stranger—third in the Chance Sisters series.
After a childhood riddled with poverty and hardship, Jane Chance intends to enter high society and make a good, safe, sensible marriage during the London Season. All goes according to plan until a dark, dangerous vagabond helps her rescue a dog.
Zachary Black is all kinds of unsuitable—a former spy, now in disguise, he’s wanted for murder. His instructions: to lie low until his name is cleared. But Zach has never followed the rules, and he wants Jane for his own, even if that means blazing his way into London society.
Jane knows she shouldn’t fall in love with an unreliable, albeit devastatingly attractive, rogue. But Zach is determined—and he‘s a man accustomed to getting what he wants.

Jane is practical, a realist not the least bit dreamy, a standard for women in the 18th century. She grew up poor and scared most of her life struggling for food and shelter and running from men who sort to use her beauty for profit. Zach is angry at the world. denies where he came from, that is until it became an advantage to win Jane.
This book was a nice read but i felt like not much was explored. they both had backgrounds that i as a reader would have loved to delve into, create a stronger bond with the characters. it didn't feel like we even scratched the surface with these two. I get there was a book before this that might have explained at least Jane's background but even highlights would have gone a long way. Made the other books more attractive to me, a must read but it didn't.
