Publisher Description
The sixth steamy book in The 1797 Club from USA Today Bestseller Jess Michaels.
Lucas Vincent may be the Duke of Willowby but he’s never acted as such. He’s been too busy working for the War Department as a spy. But years of dangerous work has finally caught up to him and he was involved in a violent attack that nearly killed him. Forced home, his angry, aggressive desire to get back in the field and find out to who betrayed him is keeping him from healing.
Diana Oakford was raised by a physician who served the King’s War Department and she knows better than most the dangers that job entails. She was also trained in healing, so when she’s asked to come and assist with Lucas’s recovery she has a hard time refusing.
Once they’re alone together an unexpected connection begins to grow between these two people who have fought their emotions all their lives and more begins to heal than just Lucas’s broken body. But just when they start to believe they could find some kind of happiness, the past rears its ugly head and Lucas will have to choose between the life he once led and the woman who has changed his world.

Another Wonderful Addition
I was given an ARC of this book through NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.
Undercover Duke is another great addition in the 1797 Club series. This series seems to include many very different Heros that have their own life troubles and carry some baggage from their pasts that the reader can relate to. They always seem to fight their need to ask for help. The hero of this book is Lucas Vincent, the Duke of Willowy. The heroine is Diana Oakford who is a daughter of a physician who served for the War Department. When Lucas is injured in his capacity as spy for the Crown he knows he has been betrayed so he acts as if everyone can not be trusted especially when Diana is asked to help in his healing. I love the interaction with these two main characters, the back and forward made me a bit dizzy but it encouraged me to keep reading to find out the all and every thing. I would recommend this book as it can be read as a stand alone but I would advise the reader to indulge in reading the other books in this series.
