Synopsis

A pining-for-you, military hero, snowbound together romance from a New York Times bestselling author:Captain Xavier Grey’s body is back amongst the beau monde, but his mind cannot break free from the horrors of war. His friends try to help him find peace. He knows he doesn’t deserve it. Just like he doesn't deserve the attentions of the sultry bluestocking intent on seducing him into bed...Spinster Jane Downing wants off the shelf and into the arms of a hot-blooded man. Specifically, the dark and dangerous Captain Grey. She may not be destined to be his wife, but nothing will stop her from being his mistress. She could quote classical Greek by the age of four. How hard can it be to learn the language of love?The fan-favorite Dukes of War series features roguish peers and dashing war heroes who return from battle only to be thrust into the splendor and madness of Regency England.

Goodreads review by Trish on March 11, 2017

Not another one.. Good grief! We’re back to me being shallow! Sorry! On the cover there’s a pretty girl in a peachy-orange gown that’s looking pretty thin to me, BUT she’s plump and Ms. Ridley doesn’t let you forget it. She feels the need to beat you over the head with it. How many times have I said I......more

It fully works as a standalone. There are some regency books that use modern speech where the o......more
