The last book in the Hellions of Halstead series presents the story of Lady Celia Sharpe and Bow Street Runner Jackson Pinter.
Jackson has resisted Celia for so long now, but when she hires him to investigate her three chosen suitors, it's the last straw. He can't begin to imagine how their lives would ever mesh with their stations in life being different; yet he loves her and can't bear to deny her. Celia begins to see beyond the "Proud Pinter" and the man he really is. Jackson is a proud man, an honorable man and he refuses to ruin or shame Celia. When Hetty, the ever-meddling Grandmother, interferes one too many times, Jackson backs off to ensure Celia won't lose her inheritance.
It took Celia a bit to finally stand-up to her Grandmother, but in the long run she did. Being the youngest of five and having to watch your siblings being pushed into marriage and knowing your turn is next to find someone "suitable" wouldn't be an easy task. Celia's emotional growth, especially when it came to her scenes with Jackson, were exceptional.
A LADY NEVER SURRENDERS is a splendid final chapter to the Hellions of Halstead Hall.
