Synopsis

Pride, lust, envy, and greed . . . vices that could lead a gentleman down the road to ruin. Unless he meets his saving grace in the form of a bespectacled bluestocking . . .

Jared Malcolm Lippincott, the Sixth Duke of Wyndmere, has restored the family fortune. Will his plans to restore the family name mend his pride? An unknown enemy from the past will stop at nothing to ruin him.

Lady Persephone does not wish to marry, cleverly donning the guise of a bespectacled bluestocking to discourage offers of marriage. Fate has other plans the night she falls into the duke's arms, captivated by the sparkle in his brilliant blue eyes. Society is all agog speculating if the two are more than just strangers.

Restoring the family name is not as important as protecting Lady Persephone, who is now in his enemy's crosshairs. A marriage of convenience binds the duke and his lady together, but duty is soon overshadowed by desire.

Will love triumph in this sweet tale of love and second chances?

Contains mature themes.

About C.H. Admirand

C. H. Admirand was born in Aiken, South Carolina, but her parents moved back to northern New Jersey, where she grew up, which if you've met her would explain a lot. She believes in fate, destiny, and love at first sight. C. H. lost her heart to the man she fell in love with at first sight when she was seventeen. He took it with him when he lost his battle against cancer. They have three grown children-one son-in-law, two grandsons, two rescue dogs, and two rescue grand-cats. Her characters rarely follow the synopsis she outlines for them . . . but C. H. has learned to listen to her characters! Her heroes always have a few of her husband's best qualities: his honesty, his integrity, his compassion for those in need, and his killer broad shoulders. C. H. writes about the things she loves most: family, her Irish and English ancestry, baking, and gardening. Take a trip back in time to Regency England for her series: The Lords of Vice. Venture back to the old West with her bestselling Irish Western series. Fast-forward to the present, stopping at the Circle G Ranch in Pleasure, Texas, before finally landing in Apple Grove, Ohio-small town USA-for a slice of Peggy McCormack's buttermilk pie!

I felt like there was an interesting book here trying to get out. It was just buried under too much repetition and social etiquette. This is one of those reviews that’s a nightmare to write.
