Publisher Description
United in a common cause…
Lady Juliette Matthews longs to be much more than just another pretty ornament in society. But using her recently acquired fortune to do some good is more complicated than she anticipated. Young ladies are not expected to risk their safety in helping the less fortunate. And the one gentleman who could help in her mission is stubborn, infernally handsome—and far too honorable to act on their mutual attraction.
And in a desire impossible to deny…
Florian Lowell has suddenly been made heir to the Duke of Redding—a far cry from his status as a dedicated physician. Yet even with his new role as the country’s most eligible bachelor, the beautiful, fearless Juliette is utterly beyond his reach. The scandalous circumstances of his birth would destroy both their reputations if they became known. But when a more urgent danger threatens Juliette’s life, Florian must gamble everything…including the heart only one woman can tame.
Customer Reviews
A GEM!!!
Oh my! I just loved this third instalment of Diamonds in the Rough series!
This is Florian Lowell’s and Juliette Mathews the youngest sister of the Duke of Huntley story.
A page turner full of danger and suspense, villainous characters coming back to wreck havoc for Florian. So many secrets that if exposed Florian fears that many lives will be destroyed.
Just when he thinks his life can’t get any worse his feelings for Juliette take on a new meaning for him. He tries to keep her at a distance but she’s gotten under his skin. Their attraction is palpable and it heats up the pages! When a typhus epidemic erupts and her life is at jeopardy Florian will move mountains to save her!
“SIGH” Florian is such a GENTLEMAN this is absolutely a love story that gives you all the feels!
Sophie Barnes has a GEM of a story! Well paced lots of interesting characters and heart wrenching situations. I’m never disappointed with a Sophie Barnes book!
I’m so looking forward to the next one, Florian's brother and the Duchess!
I recieved a complimentary copy from the author/publisher via Edelweiss. This is my honest unbiased opinion.
