Victorian Era England...

As far as rash decisions go, it was formidable. But Lady Jocelyn Rathbourne's will remains strong. If the only way to save her family's estate and reputation is by aiming a small pistol at the Duke of Calydon, then so be it. For Lady Jocelyn demands satisfaction - and she will have it at any cost. Even if it means demanding the hand of the intense and foreboding Duke himself....

But she's made the first move against a very dangerous opponent....

For Sebastian Thornton is no stripling to be trifled with. The lady has played her hand. Now it's his turn. For Sebastian is in need of a wife. And to find a wife with spirit and fire - even if she means to only marry for his money - would be a great prize indeed. And he intends to thoroughly take his pleasure with her... and demands his own satisfaction in return.

Good.

This was pretty good for a short read. Stacy Reid has fast become one of my favorite authors in this genre. I am working my way through her catalog and so far they are all good reads!

Short story with full body

This is a quick listen that gives a full story and with wonderful characters. I enjoyed the story and thought the narrator did a good job bringing the characters to life. I will say that the book had me wanting more, not necessarily from these characters but from those around them and including them.

Short in length, huge in entertainment!

What a lot of book in such a short tale. I wanted MORE! Set near the end of the 19th century and full of all the things we love about romance in that time.

Excellent performance, very hot, and worth the money. But it costs less than a credit!!!!

Fantastic storytelling

Romance and drama abound with a grumpy duke and his sassy new duchess. Fast paced with interesting characters.

lovely
