About this ebook

The only thing these opposites have in common is a desire to not marry…

Tobias Forsyth, Duke of Heatherston, owes his niece a proper Come Out. But as a confirmed bachelor, he has no idea how to fulfill his commitment. Fortunately, to his astonishment and intense pleasure, the gorgeous widow he’s admired from afar for so long is willing to help. Now, if only he could convince the reluctant object of his affection to give him a chance…

Emily Grenville is bored. But that doesn’t mean she ever intends to marry again. Not with the ugly secret her husband saddled her with before his death. So, she’ll have to continue rebuffing the advances of every interested man—even the ruggedly handsome Scot who has somehow managed to occupy her every waking thought…

It’s not long before their time spent in forced proximity leads to much deeper feelings and desires. But when Emily’s secret is divulged, can the fragile romance she’s only started to enjoy with Tobias survive?

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this story, couldn't stop turning the pages. Emily was an interesting woman with a scandalous secret. She wanted more for her life, but her secret kept her from looking for a commitment and love. Her kindness in helping Tobias with his niece pushed her boundaries. Tobias was quite a determined man as he finally had the opportunity to get to know Emily. I loved how protective and attentive he was. I highly recommend this story.

A well-written delightful story and likeable, engaging characters make this beautiful ending for a very entertaining series. Tobias and Emily are a lovely couple. The characters from the other stories made an appearance at the end, a birthday celebration, an engagement announcement, and a fond farewell. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Tobias takes an interest in Emily. But it’s not until his petulant niece Avery almost runs her down with a horse that he gets a second chance at the widow with a big secret. Emily offers to help Avery with her debut. I liked that Emily was thirty and Tobias, 36. He, a bachelor with a reputation and she a widow. Plenty of banter and engaging characters. Recommend.
