About this listen

Devonshire, England, 1820

Determined to avoid the strife-filled marriage of his parents, Marcus, the Duke of Ulvercombe, wants an amenable, biddable wife, and has set his cap for a certain pretty miss. Unfortunately, her vastly opinionated, frustrating, and lamentably beautiful guardian, Lady Clara Tinniswood, keeps distracting him, tempting him to consider a far more tempestuous—and passionate—union.

Recently widowed Lady Clara Tinniswood wants only to organize a quiet new life for herself, beyond the control of any man. But one shockingly unguarded moment while confronted by Marcus's gloriously naked body catapults her headlong into a forbidden passion and threatens to undermine all her well-laid plans.

Even if Marcus abandons his sweet ideal and surrenders to his growing desire for Clara, there's one unalterable issue which could destroy their hopes forever . . .

Contains mature themes.

Almost didn’t choose to listen to this, but SO GLAD I did. Four main story lines that were woven together for a very satisfying story line with healing and resolution of past traumas and secrets. None of this “people trying to blackmail or kill or frame people.” Just a great love story! Don’t miss it!

I enjoyed the story after awhile. At first I disliked the Duke. He was roo realistic putting form over substance. I was angry that he was carrying out his desire to Wed through callous calculation, and OK with disregarding both of the females he was persuing. This of course is usually the male perspective of the Ton, but that man usually ends up the villian. This guy was to turn into the hero. His transition was a little slower than I like but he eventually comes around and proves himself. I was still bristling in the end after a rollercoaster of romantic emotions but mullified by the HEA.

Emotionally Deep!
