Synopsis

Now the new Duke of Hollinburgh, Nicholas Radnor has two duties to fulfill: locate the mysterious woman mentioned in his late uncle's will and acquire a suitable bride. When bedazzling, unconventional Iris Barrington shows up at the estate, Nicholas believes he may have found the missing beneficiary—unless she is a charlatan, or worse. But as for his second duty—he is finding it difficult to think of any other woman while tantalizing thoughts of Iris occupy his mind. He agrees to fulfill the late duke's promise to her, even as he grows suspicious of both her motives and the danger that seems to surround her. All of which keeps her temptingly close at hand . . .

Iris will do anything to restore honor to her beloved grandfather's name. Even tangle with the likes of Nicholas, a man whose formidable intellect and good looks lure her like no other. But all her years on the continent have not prepared her for the sensual onslaught she discovers in his embrace—or the devastation of almost losing him to malicious intentions. Now Iris's desire to unearth the scandal behind the dukedom burns ever brighter: for doing so might also protect the man who has stolen her heart . . .

Contains mature themes.

3.5 to 4 stars. It was good to get the mystery that had been built up in the previous two books finally solved. I was satisfied with the ending, although the plot/characters were a little complex at times. I'm still not totally sure (view spoiler)[ who Atkinson was, and who (if anyone) of the family he was aligned (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Laura on February 13, 2023

This is the third book in Ms. Hunter’s trilogy. I suggest reading the books in order as there’s a mystery that runs through all three books. Nicholas has inherited a dukedom from his eccentric uncle but hasn’t inherited any of the uncle’s personal wealth which is needed to maintain the properties an......more

I read this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review Iris Barrington is a young woman who is in the trade of ancient books, manuscripts and old documents. She lives most of her time in Italy but when the story commences she’s in London trying to retrieve a very rare manuscript tha......more

Goodreads review by Gloria on October 22, 2023

Yet another book that started well but disappointed at the end. I was completely baffled about why Iris rejected and cut Nicholas off, ESPECIALLY after she explained it. It was nonsensical—why could she not simply have told him instead of dismissing him? Why keep it a secret? And the mystery surroun......more
