Goodreads Synopsis
Jess Michaels is back with this spicy new story!
From the time they were teenagers, Emilia, Wren and Aiden knew they desired and loved each other, but their disparate classes and her father’s intention to wed her to a title separated them cruelly for years. They had all accepted that they would likely never be together again until a shocking truth pulls them into each other’s orbit once more.
Emilia’s marriage to a viscount was anything but happy, and it has turned dangerous. She believes he’s trying to kill her and in desperation she reaches out to Aiden to steal her away and save her. Meanwhile, her husband has also hired Wren, now an investigator, to find his wayward wife and bring her back home. Of course he has no intention to do so, but he takes the case and finds his quarry.
Reunited at last, with the terrible truth out, the three must work together to find a way to save Emilia, and themselves, from ruin and potential death. Along the way, the passions they felt for each other all those years ago are sparked like dry tinder until they can no longer be denied. Will they find a way to love each other for all time, or will the danger that stalks them have its way in the end?
This is the fifth book in the Theirs series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Emilia, Wren, and Aiden were inseparable as children, and knew the depth of their feelings for each other would know no bounds. But from very different social classes, they were doomed to be parted, especially when Emilia's father marries her off to an older Viscount for the title. She knew her marriage would not be a happy one, but she never expected it to be as dangerous as it's turning out to be. Believing her husband is plotting to kill her, Amelia finds a way to contact Aiden, and asks for his help in escaping. But then her vicious husband hires Wren, now a respected private investigator, to find her, and bring her home. Knowing he'd do anything to find her, but never to return her to her prison, he takes the job, and soon finds both Aiden and Emilia exactly where he thought he would. After years apart, how will they cope when their passionate and love comes back with a vengeance?
I've enjoyed all the books in this series, and actually thought it was finished when this book popped up on my NetGalley account. I definitely liked this one, and the fact that the throuple had a history, which made their romance this time around better, but I can't say I was blown away by the story. It definitely had fire, and drama, and spice, but the plot was a little too convenient in places to really enjoy. Maybe it was too short, and some more development could've helped to improve my reading experience? I don't know, but I still liked it, and I'll definitely read more of Jess' books when she releases them.
