About this ebook

When only a despicable duke will do... Miss Heather Everly desperately needs to get married, but not just any suitor will do. Her family is harboring a dark secret and on the brink of ruin. Only the Duke of Alberhill, a man twice her age and known for his horrid disposition, can save her. He answers her letter and agrees to meet her, but the man who arrives is not the dastardly duke, but his young and handsome steward, Mr. Calder. Heather must convince Mr. Calder she can be the perfect duchess, but the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to fight what her heart truly desires.

Revenge must come before romance...Fallon Calder cannot believe that the beautiful and vibrant Miss Everly wishes to marry a malicious old man like the Duke of Alberhill. Fallon is determined to destroy all the duke holds dear, which is nothing but his legacy. It’s why he must hide the shocking truth that the old duke is dead, and as his only heir, Fallon has taken his place. He is determined to find out all he can about her under the disguise of being his own steward, but what he doesn't anticipate is his heart getting involved. The more he learns about her, the more certain he becomes that the only man Heather should belong to, is him.

Ratings and reviews

not very well written.. writing doesn't do justice to the era the story is set.. I did read it, assuming that the author is new and everyone should be given a chance.

The writing style was really poor and didn't reflect the era in which the story was supposedly set. I only got to page 30, then gave up.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book every chapter was new interesting and exciting love the sex love the theatrics and love the fact that they came together through every difficult situation.
