I really enjoyed this second offering in the Desperately Seeking Duke series.
Drew is an officer and a Scotsman whose family descends from nobility but has nothing to show for it as there was a falling-out in the past. He has worked hard to provide for his mother and sisters and is shocked when he discovers that he is the presumptive heir of the family‘s English dukedom. He is charged with learning the responsibilities of his new position as 🔻

robinb well as finding a suitable wife to serve as his duchess.
Ilsa is a spirited young widow who has been controlled by both her husband and father and yearns for fun and freedom in her life. Little does she know that it is her friend‘s brother, Drew, that she shares an impromptu kiss with during a rowdy tavern dance. There is an immediate attraction even though they both know that vivacious Ilsa is ill-suited to be a proper duchess. 🔻

robinb A scandal arises involving Ilsa‘s father, and Drew and Ilsa must step in to uncover the truth.
I loved both mains. Drew is a wonderful character, filled with integrity/sincerity but also a little bit of mischief as well. Ilsa is rambunctious and an original in her thoughts and actions. They have both been “controlled” by outside forces (family responsibility, proper decorum) when all they crave is to live their lives as themselves. 🔻
