robinb unexpected bombshell that could result in the exploitation of an innocent and an exclusion from the ton.
This was a good look at the relationship between Julian and his brother Arthur, the Duke of Waltham, as they work together to right a circumstance that they were unaware of and bring a bit of closure to their feelings over their younger brother‘s early demise. Another enjoyable addition to the series. 4.25/5⭐️
