Description de l’éditeur
Jack Barrett is an ambitious member of parliament with no time or desire for a wife. When he catches the Duke of Eastleigh’s sister sneaking inside one of London’s private gentlemen’s clubs, he’s shocked—and dangerously charmed—and assumes the role of protector, only to discover she has the means to destroy him.
Social pariah Lady Viola Fairfax masquerades as a man to pen a column in a popular women’s magazine. When she stumbles upon a brewing scandal that implicates a prominent MP, she seizes the chance to establish herself as a real journalist. However, the infuriating and intoxicating man may not be the radical he’s purported to be, and the more time they spend together, the more she risks the one thing she’s sworn never to do: fall in love.
Meet the unforgettable men of London's most notorious tavern, The Wicked Duke. Seductively handsome, with charm and wit to spare, one night with these rakes and rogues will never be enough…

Avis d’utilisateurs
When marriage is not a cage
Each of the stories can be read as a standalone but as it is part of a series, it is nice also to read the previous books to get acquainted to the various characters.
This one read was centered on Viola Fairfax, the Duke of Eastleigh’s sister, she was introduced in his book, One Night Of Surrender where we learned she had the habit to masquerade as a man in her brother’s club.
So here, when she finds herself in the mist of a dangerous affair, she partners with Jack Barrett, a member of parliament who has seen through her masquerade.
Both are really dead set against marriage, Jack mostly because it is too early while Viola, she refuses to surrender her freedom.
It was a slow burn story, as in the fortnight they get to know each other, they encounter doubt, deceit and deception but they also discover passion and need of another. At first, they were more annoyed by the other than anything else but slowly they felt the lack of the other’s presence until they came to rethink their ideas about marriage.
I had to goggle the historical events presented for the background plot, it was very entertaining and enjoyable how Mrs Darcy Burke turned historic developments as an initial basis for Viola’s and Jack’s story.
One more great read in this series.
