❤️🔥He's not like other dukes . . .
Paris, 1889
Physician Aurora Montalban Wright takes risks in her career, but never with her heart. Running an underground women's clinic exposes her to certain dangers, but help arrives in the unexpected form of the infuriating Duke of Annan. Aurora begrudgingly accepts his protection, then promptly finds herself in his bed.
New to his role as a duke, Apollo César Sinclair Robles struggles to embrace his position. With half of society waiting for him to misstep and the other half looking to discredit him, Apollo never imagined that his enthralling bedmate would become his most trusted adviser. Soon, he realizes the rebellious doctor could be the perfect duchess. But Aurora won't give up her independence, and her secrets make her unsuitable for the aristocracy.
When a dangerous figure from their past returns to threaten them, Apollo whisks Aurora away to his villa in the French Riviera. Far from the reproachful eye of Parisian society, can Apollo convince Aurora that their bond is stronger than the forces keeping them apart?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A female doctor in 1880s Paris becomes entangled with a duke in Herrera's breathless final Las Léonas romance (after An Island Princess Starts a Scandal). When Hispaniola-born Dr. Aurora Montalban Wright learns her brothers have cut her off from the trust fund she uses to operate her women's health clinic, she heads to the Parisian apartment of British noble Apollo César Sinclair Robles, the newly minted Duke of Annan, seeking to blow off steam through casual sex. After establishing himself as the rightful heir to the dukedom, Apollo thumbs his nose at the aristocracy who struggle to accept him as a Black duke. His aunt, meanwhile, is determined to find him a proper bride who will ease his entry into high society. Though he submits to her matchmaking, he also agrees to a no-strings-attached affair with Aurora as he helps her gain funding for her clinic. Aurora secretly longs for more, but believes she's an unsuitable candidate for marriage because of her illegitimacy. Apollo, meanwhile, is determined to win her heart. Herrera infuses their romance with her trademark sensuality while using their story to probe themes of racism, sexism, and abortion access. This is a worthy finale.
