About this ebook

Historical fiction writer, Vivienne Dupree, is hoping to unravel the mystery of her WWII soldier, great-grandfather’s doomed love affair with the lovely Lady Harmony. A woman he met convalescing at the sweeping English country estate, The Downs.

Vivienne jumps at the invitation to spend time at this magnificent property, doing so with unfettered access to family papers.

What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face—and immediately go head-to-head—with Battle Talyn, the ludicrously handsome, imposing, ridiculously arrogant Duke of Burleigh.

From the start, Vivi and Battle match wits, but it doesn’t take long for Vivi to realize something is amiss at The Downs. She dives into her research to figure it out, at the same time Battle launches a campaign that Vivi doesn’t quite understand.

The game is on, and a mystery is afoot.

What kept the doomed lovers apart all those years ago? What’s happening in the ballroom? Is there a curse on The Downs?

And what does all of this have to do with Battle and Vivi?

Ratings and reviews

Perfect In Every Way is a modern day fairytale with historical mood, scintillating suspense and a touch of supernatural. It takes us to English country side, to the Talyn family estate, where bestselling author Vivienne Dupree is chasing a trail of old letters from her great grandfather to his unrequited love as she plot her next book historical fiction. Enter Battle Talyn, the Duke of Burleigh. Oh the absolute magical sinful breathtaking beauty this story has been ( reviewed early copy)

I loved how easy and smooth this story played out! There was intrigue, a smidge of the mystical, secrets to uncover, and the past to unravel. There is family drama, family caring, family protection, and family love. There are several kitties, a lazy large pup, and devoted employees. There is a large, historical, seeped with history, family estate, and duchy to go along with it. There is attraction, heat, steam, and love. There is a uniqueness to each and every character

fun til the end!! love Kristen
