About this eBook

Every great family has a few secrets. The wild Randalls of Hampshire excel at them. 

A lady should be the image of elegance and calm, but those words have never applied to Mercy, Duchess of Romsey. A widow and mother, Mercy is lonely and floundering to keep the estate afloat. When she discovers the existence of Leopold Randall, her husband’s estranged cousin, Mercy immediately offers to help him locate his missing siblings if he helps her return the estate to order.

Leopold has returned to Hampshire for only one purpose—to learn the fate of his missing siblings. Unfortunately, the current duchess is clueless and out of her depth. Her struggle tugs at Leopold’s sense of duty and her bold nature tempts him unbearably. When Leopold discovers their lives are forever entwined, he vows to protect Mercy and her innocent son.

Ratings and reviews

Contrived plot connecting sex scenes. Heroine flips between terror and lust at the author's whim. Neither the mystery nor the relationship develops a y tension.

Great read. I enjoyed how Mercy went after what she wanted. The love of her son, and how she spent time with him. The value of family has much to say about both of them.

Not a bad story at all, but all the typos made it difficult to stay in the story. Engaging another editor or some beta readers would help find those errors and give the reader a smoother time. Every plural was made into a singular with an apostrophe and it was difficult to ignore since it happened since two pages in.
