Drake, the Earl of Westwood’s heir, grew up running wild with the woodsman’s daughter, Emily. As he grew older and began seeing women, he never touched her. When the Seeker came looking for him to take him into the Order of St. Michaels like the rest of his ancestors had done, he was happy to go. As a member of the Inferno Club, he was looked at as a scandalous rogue with the ladies, but he was, in fact, an agent for the government. During one of his missions, he was captured by the Prometheans, an organization that put up a respectable front to society, but actually did the work of the devil, worshipping Satan in murderous rituals. They had tried to break Drake to give up his secrets about their enemy, the Order of St. Michael. But fortunately, he had held out until finally his mind, getting him sweet relief, had blanked out his memory, leaving him with no knowledge of his own mother or even his own name. The only one he did remember, the one who allowed him to retain a trace of sanity was Emily. It was thoughts of her that kept him alive. His parents warned him not to touch her, feeling that a woodsman’s daughter was beneath him. But he could not deny that he loved her. Finally, Drake had been found and brought home, nearly broken and nearly dead. But Emily had sat by his bed and helped bring him back…until one morning, he made his escape and rushed back to the Prometheans, determined to become one of them, gain their trust and seek his revenge. Unfortunately, the Order was not privy to his plans and thought he had become a traitor. The order was sent out to shoot him when he was seen.

Emily Harper has loved Drake most of her life, even though she knew a relationship between the earl’s heir and herself was impossible. They had played together in the woods, games that helped her survive when she left home and followed Drake when he returned to the Prometheans. She had arrived to save Drake, as she was the only friend he had. She had been spotted by the Prometheans and ran from them, until she discovered that it was Drake who led the hunters. Giving herself up to him, she begged him to go home with her. But his stoic expressions and demeanor forced her to wonder if Drake had truly become one of the dreaded Prometheans. Drake had introduced her as a servant girl who had fallen in love with him and followed him everywhere. The evil members allowed her to stay and share Drake’s room. Each day, she worked with Drake, but he refused to give her any information or to tell her if he was planning some revenge or if he had truly become a member of the Prometheans. Hoping to have help with him, she had written to the Order before her capture.    

Forced into close quarters, their desire for each other cannot be denied, but he is afraid to let her in on his secrets…afraid she will not be able to lie to her captors and may reveal his secrets. But when he is put to the test of choosing the Prometheans or allowing Emily to be the sacrifice for the next eclipse, which one will he choose? Will he choose the girl he has loved most of his life, or will he select the evil organization for which he is willing to die in order to bring them down once and for all?

An adventure-packed read, MY RUTHLESS PRINCE, the fourth book in New York times best-selling author Gaelen Foley’s INFERNO CLUB series, is an edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting thriller that will have you avidly turning the pages to see what happens next. I absolutely loved this story about an earl’s rambunctious heir and the woodsman’s untamed daughter so much that I read it in one sitting, unable to put it down. Even when everyone else gave up on Drake, believing that he was a traitor, Emily still hung in there, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Containing evil villains that worship the devil, honorable government spies, humor, passion, danger, torture, forbidden love, witty repartee, sensual situations, conspiracy, plot twists and surprises that will leave you guessing and a love so true that they are willing to die for each other, this is a story for the ages. A definite keeper and one of the best books of the year! Although this book can be read as a standalone, I advise also reading the rest of this amazing series; MY WICKED MARQUESS, MY DANGEROUS DUKE and MY IRRESISTIBLE EARL. I love all of Ms. Foley’s wonderful novels, but she has surpassed herself with MY RUTHLESS PRINCE. I cannot wait to read Beau’s story; MY SCANDALOUS VISCOUNT,     which is due out in the autumn. In the meantime, do not miss MY RUTHLESS PRINCE. You won’t be disappointed!
