Goodreads Synopsis
He wants justice
Underestimating Marcus Black is the last thing his enemies ever do. After all, the respected Earl of Westwood is a deadly threat… when her Majesty needs him to be. And his only goal is to avenge his brother’s murder. Which would be much easier if the viciously-skilled Lady Kaitlyn Montrose wouldn’t swoop in, knee him in the bollocks, and then run off with his only lead…
She wants revenge
Kat is determined to avenge her beloved uncle’s murder and nothing will stop her. Especially not the devastatingly handsome, and equally lethal Marcus Black. The fact that he’s after the same target is a complication she hadn’t planned on. And as much as she enjoys taunting him, she has a job to do—one that doesn’t include sparring with the infuriating man at every turn. Except Kat has a new plan… one that Marcus will just hate.
Now they’ll have to work together… if they don’t kill each other first
Individually, Marcus and Kat are deadly. If they worked together, they could be unstoppable. But when attraction gets in the way of vengeance, it’s more than hearts on the line. And only one person can win...

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Lady Kaitlyn Montrose has had an upbringing unlike any other. Raised by her spymaster uncle to be a agent of the Queen's, when her uncle is killed by the Chameleon, she is out for revenge. And it just so happens that the handsome Earl of Westwood, Marcus Black, is after the very same person. Joining forces with the same goal, they are a formidable threat, but the attraction growing between them may be the biggest threat of them all.
As a sort of enemies to lovers type book, I really enjoyed The Bachelor Betrayal. Neither of the main characters were interested in marrying, or in working together, to be honest, but they were willing to forgo their hesitations in order to stop the Chameleon, and avenge their loved ones. I liked the way that they rubbed off each other, and the banter between the pair was great. Their romance took some time to get started, but once it did, it was fiery. A great and quick historical romance!
