Publisher Description
Governess Miss Viola Winslow is quite familiar with the rules of society, and her place in it. Still, it hasn’t stopped her from being horribly in love with the Duke of Huntington for years. But while the duke knows little of her foolish passions, the same cannot be said of Viola’s charge—a precocious fourteen-year-old obsessed with her governess’s secret romance.
As a confirmed bachelor with no interest in marriage, the Duke of Huntington prefers his estate at Moorcliff Castle to the hustle, bustle, and utter nonsense of London society. He’s far more content with a glass of excellent whiskey and the calm of the country. Until his peace is shattered by the enchanting Miss Viola, and her injured young charge.
Unable to travel or leave, Miss Viola has no choice but to remain at Moorcliff—where avoiding the duke is all but impossible. Somewhere between late night run-ins and a fake date in the most unlikely of places, their chemistry stops feeling one-sided. But when he discovers the secret she’s been hiding all along, there’s nothing that will save them from scandal.

3.5 stars
This book was ok. Lots of suspend disbelief needed when reading it. Despite the H being 36 he was written in a very juvenile way. I think the author could have used help there.
Wonderful Story!!
This is the third book in this series and I enjoyed it very much. Even though you can read it as a standalone I believe that you should read all the books in order. Ms.Drake does an excellent job of bringing you into the story and keeping you there. I can’t wait to read more.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.
