Synopsis

Edward Stanhope, the icy Duke of Thornfield, likes his life in a certain order. Give him a strong drink, a good book, and his dog for company, and hes content. But when he goes to his library and finds a woman sitting in his chair, petting his dog, what starts as a request for her to leave turns quickly to a fiery battle of wits, leading to a steamy kiss that could ruin them both if theyre caught. So, of course, damn it all, thats when Edwards aunt walks in and, thereafter, announces Miss Georgiana Bly as the future Duchess of Thornfield. Georgiana was content to be a spinster, spending her days reading and working to keep her family out of debt. But now her days are spent locked away with a growly duke, learning how to be the perfect duchess, and her nights are spent fighting her undeniable attraction to a man who was never meant for her. As their wedding day approaches, the attraction between them burns hot and fierce, but is it enough to melt the dukes chilly facade?

I seldom give 5 Star reviews for books anymore since after all these years I am much more discerning about my ratings but this one made the grade. Our Edward and Georgiana were one of the more strange couples in my history of historical romance. He has a secret but he is a very stern and cold Duke a......more

Good story with strong characters. A bit predictable in parts. 3.5 stars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This book was a little interesting for me. I actually have mixed feelings about the story. Of course, one of the interesting parts of historical romances is the overly proper methods in courtship. The author b......more
