Synopsis

A duke meets his match in the last place he'd ever expect in this charming Regency romance.
Wrexham, Duke of Elsmore, is overrun by family obligations. With three sisters to escort about Town, a legion of cousins to look after, and aunties who insist he dance with every eligible young woman, he barely has time to manage his dukedom. When he finally carves out a moment to evaluate his family's finances, he learns that he -- and his sisters -- are on the verge of social catastrophe.
Eleanora Hatfield has an uncanny knack for numbers, but she knows from experience that dealing with the peerage can only lead to problems. Though she wants nothing to do with any titled gentleman, she reluctantly agrees to help when Rex seeks aid from her employer. What starts out as an unwanted assignment soon leads to forbidden kisses and impossible longings. But with scandal haunting Ellie's past and looming in Rex's future, how can true love lead to anything but heartbreak?
Includes the bonus story "The Lady in Red" by Kelly Bowen!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. “You seek to be silly?” Ellie did have a devious turn of mind, no need to take offense at the truth when the same quality kept a roof over her head. His Grace's e......more

3.5 stars. I'm tossing up whether to round up or down. Up, I guess. I enjoyed this gentle story about a lonely man who fell in love with the woman who was auditing his finances. The whole duke-falls-for-and-marries-a-woman-from-a-much-lower-class thing is not my fav trope, but OK, I'm just gonna go w......more

Goodreads review by Shelleen on March 29, 2020

I had to DNF this book. I really liked the first book of this series. Was not fond of the 2nd book and just could not finish this one. I got 24% through the book and had to stop.

As much as I enjoyed the first two books in this series, this one was a rather bland read.......more
