. . . the sole remaining bachelor of the three self-proclaimed Decadent Dukes. Yet Davina MacCallum's reasons for searching out the handsome Duke of Brentworth have nothing to do with marriage. Scottish lands were unfairly confiscated from her family by the Crown and given to his. A reasonable man with vast holdings can surely part with one trivial estate, especially when Davina intends to put it to good use. Brentworth, however, is as difficult to persuade as he is to resist.
The Duke of Brentworth's discretion and steely control make him an enigma even to his best friends. Women especially find him inscrutable and unapproachable-but also compellingly magnetic. So when Davina MacCallum shows no signs of being even mildly impressed by him, he is intrigued. Until he learns that her mission in London involves claims against his estate. Soon the two of them are engaged in a contest that allows no compromise. When duty and desire collide, the best laid plans are about to take a scandalous turn-into the very heart of passion . . .
"The originality of Hunter's plotting and the skill with which she executes it are exemplary. These, combined with her usual superb flair for crafting compelling characters (her sketch of George IV alone is worth the price of the book), make this a must-read for fans of sexy Regency-set historicals."
Booklist
"A lovely, wise, subtly sexy read."
All About Romance
"Hunter's final Decadent Dukes Society Regency (after A Devil of a Duke) entices with a strong heroine who refuses to be impressed by the hero's stuffy manners... Readers who like slow-simmering romance will find much to appreciate about these intelligent, forthright characters and their cautious journey toward love."
