Synopsis

Tamsin Palmer—the recently widowed Duchess of Clevesly—has almost anything a woman of common birth could want: wealth, title, estate, and even her adored toddler son. But it's not exactly easy. She's been ostracized by the ton due to her decidedly unblue blood. And worse still, her dearly departed duke has assigned a co-guardian of their son: the handsome (if insufferable) Count of Rauchberg, who seems most insistent on dictating the terms of Tamsin's duchy. But not if she has anything to say about it . . .

Christian August has never been so vexed in his life. He's come to help raise the duchess's son, and in return, she's doing everything she can to destroy his peace of mind. Unleashing goats, secretly shortening the cuffs of his shirts, and—damn the infernal woman—driving him to distraction with her flashing eyes and soft, kissable lips. It's enough to make a man forget his duty . . .

With every argument, the longing grows stronger. With every diabolical prank, the temptation becomes greater. And they'll risk everything to win . . . even if it means surrendering to a passion that will destroy them both.

Contains mature themes.

As always, thanks to Entangled Publishing for providing me with this ARC! This story was fantastic! The characters could easily be side characters in Bridgerton that got their own little side story.

Goodreads review by Chris on November 01, 2024

The first book I ever read by this author made a big mark on me so I try and read her latest releases because she knows how to let her characters have fun and enjoy life. This was on perfect display in this new story. Free-spirited and fun are not usually terms you hear when speaking about historical......more

Goodreads review by ColleenIsBooked on November 26, 2024

I am certain that other people will really love this one; in fact, early reviews are really positive. Unfortunately, for me, it just didn't work. To be fully transparent, I read about 51% and then skimmed the rest for the major plot points because I was tired of this couple. I immediately disliked t......more
