“Edward Stanhope, the icy Duke of Thornfield, likes his life in a certain order. Give him a strong drink, a good book, and his dog for company, and he‘s content. But when he goes to his library and finds a woman sitting in his chair, petting his dog, what starts as a request for her to leave quickly turns to a fiery battle of wits, leading to a steamy kiss that could ruin them both if they were caught.”

pickMy first Eva Devon book. I enjoyed it, though a bit boring in the middle.
pickI love any historical romance that has a spinster/blue stocking heroine with an aloof hero and this book did not disappoint. Georgiana is such a smart and compelling character and Edward is aloof to start but quickly reveals himself to be an emotionally deep and nuanced character. I loved the way their relationship grows over time and they way they work together to understand each other.
