A lady must have money and an army of her own if she is to win a revolution—but first, she must pit her wits against the wiles of an irresistible rogue bent on wrecking her plans…and her heart.
Lady Lucie is fuming. She and her band of Oxford suffragists have finally scraped together enough capital to control one of London’s major publishing houses, with one purpose: to use it in a coup against Parliament. But who could have predicted that the one person standing between her and success is her old nemesis and London’s undisputed lord of sin, Lord Ballentine? Or that he would be willing to hand over the reins for an outrageous price—a night in her bed.
Lucie tempts Tristan like no other woman, burning him up with her fierceness and determination every time they clash. But as their battle of wills and words fans the flames of long-smoldering devotion, the silver-tongued seducer runs the risk of becoming caught in his own snare.
As Lucie tries to out-maneuver Tristan in the boardroom and the bedchamber, she soon discovers there’s truth in what the poets say: all is fair in love and war…
"Rich with subplot, historical detail and beautifully descriptive writing that keeps the pages turning until the delightfully unconventional happy ending."—NPR

Evie Dunmore does it again! I loved Bringing Down the Duke so when I saw A Rogue of One's Own available for request I hit that button!! Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this one!
Lady Lucie controls one of London's major publishing houses but in order to get a leg up (pun intended) on Parliament she finds herself making a deal with her nemesis Lord Ballentine. I love how passionate Lady Lucie is about her work and women's suffrage. She's a strong independent woman who doesn't let men dictate her life, even her family.
Lord Ballentine is definitely swoony! He's returned from the war and has placed himself in the middle of Lady Lucie's publishing house. The two of them grew up together and they often played pranks on each other. Over time they became enemies but the more time he spends with her the more he realizes that he may have loved her even then.
This book was fantastic. I love getting both steamy romance and historical all in one book. It was a bit slow to start but I think it was more due to my mood than it was to the story itself. I'm so glad I picked up the audio in order to finish it and it was so well done.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a swoony romance read set in 19th century England!
