Publisher's summary

He's a powerful duke. She's his uncle's ward. They have forever been at war, until one night, one masquerade, and one kiss....

Lara Ramsay is no stranger to scandal. As the orphaned daughter of a British colonel and his beloved Indian wife, whispers follow her everywhere. Not even the protection of the formidable Duke of Wolverton, a man she can't stand, keeps the gossips at bay.

The audacious Lara has driven Tristan Wentworth, The Duke of Wolverton, to distraction since the day his uncle took her in - and he's quite certain doing so is her favorite pastime. After catching her and his younger sister at a salacious masquerade, he's had enough scandal and issues a marriage ultimatum: Find a husband within six months or one will be chosen for her.

Unfortunately, no one in the ton appeals to her. Except, perhaps, the duke himself. The battle of wills has only just begun, and when Lara kisses him, their fate is sealed.

Sometimes even the most proper duke needs to break the rules to win the heart of the woman he loves....

Contains mature themes.

Wow, just wow!

This book was incredible! Honestly, if you are into romance novels with some mouthwatering heat, you won’t be disappointed. Ashford MacNab has such a great range of voices and when Wolf groans in pleasure you get a spike of heat running right to your core. Ashford took a great story and made it spectacular. She is by far my favorite narrator. Sapna Bhog did a fantastic job showing the pain and discomfort associated with racism and I cried feeling Lara’s pain as she dealt with heartbreaking situations due to her parentage. I laughed as she laughed and might have moaned once or twice.
This book is definitely for adults only and you will probably make it an annual listen as I plan to do.

PERFECT ROMANCE NOVEL

I thought this was a perfect romance novel especially for anyone who just getting into period romance novels. The story was believable, true to the time period. Characters all showed depth in development. The narrator was excellent! 5 + stars from me!
