About this ebook

A #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a sexy and scandalous Regency romance about an adventurous woman and the mysterious son of a duke who finds his way into her life—perfect for Bridgerton fans.

Eliza Melrose has always cherished her independence. And when she and her family lived in the countryside, it was easy to slip out for a midnight ride, write articles for her father’s newspaper, and otherwise do as she pleased. But now that they’ve moved to the heart of fashionable London, her every move is scrutinized and judged. Worse yet, her father wants her to wed and take her proper place in society.

But Eliza wants nothing to do with marriage. And when the new Duke of Chester moves into his family’s long-abandoned home across the square, her journalistic instincts immediately kick in. Are the rumors true—did he really kill his family? Is he as rakish as everyone says? The more Eliza finds out, the more she wants to know. Because the duke is a fascinating study of contradictions—reclusive and arrogant, fiercely protective and deeply passionate. But those who dance too close to the fire often get burned. And as the undeniable flame between them ignites, the only question is: Who’s holding the match?

Sexy, scandalous and utterly unputdownable, this is the Regency novel you've been waiting for!

Ratings and reviews

I have a conflicted feeling about this book... Eliza's family is "new money" and her father pairs her up with his business parther's son who has a title. Eliza has been independent all of her life so it's hard for her to adjust to new home, new town, and new social circle. I think she has been bored until the Duke of Chester returns to town. After that she gives all her interests and attention to him. Their feelings seem to be mutual though and I can't deny that they have a chemistry. There also has a mystery and suspense vibe entwined with their triangle love story which is intriguing me. Now the reason why I give the book 3 stars is because usually I want to understand both hero and heroine of a book I read but in this book, the author writes it in Eliza's POV so I keep thinking I'm missing something while I'm reading it. It makes me feel struggled... until the mystery has been resolved and I feel like now I finally get it!
