Synopsis

Based on a true story By station, they’re worlds apart, but living under the same roof brings their hearts dangerously close William Yorke faces a tall order: convince people he is worthy of the Dukedom of Rockwood that has unexpectedly fallen to him. Returning from London to his enormous estate, he breaks his journey at an inn and finds himself witness to a drunkard selling his wife to the highest bidder. William outbids the coarse competition and offers the woman a position as housemaid at his estate, uncomfortably aware that his impulsive chivalry will lead to talk—something he abhors. Life has brought Clara Quinn very low indeed. Once an esteemed lady’s maid dismissed on false charges, her marriage of desperation lasts just long enough for her husband to sell her for gambling money. Clara is thrust into the heart of the Duke of Rockwood’s household, but the duke himself keeps his distance to quell the rumors. She is determined to leave rather than complicate his life—until she stumbles upon one of the duke’s greatest secrets. As their paths become irrevocably intertwined, distance becomes not only impossible but increasingly undesirable—and a romance? Unthinkable.

I wasn’t sure about a story where a duke marries a maid — and I was right. It was a stretch. However, this author has an uncanny ability to make me forget all reason and just enjoy the fairy tale. So I went with the flow, so to speak, and let go of historical accuracy and logic. The only thing that m......more

Do my eyes look puffy? Because it would be a miracle if they didn’t after reading this book. HOLY CANNOLI this book is filled with so much emotion and tension. I am 💯 in book hangover mode.

4.25 stars This is book 2 in the series. You can read it as a standalone but there is part of it that goes with book 1 so I recommend reading the first one as well. William is new to being a Duke. When he stops at an inn he witnesses a kind woman being sold by her husband to the highest bidder. He ca......more
