Publisher's summary

I was born into British aristocracy, but I've made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.

Back in Britain, my family is fighting over who's the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it's me - if I'm married. It's not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.

Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I've never wanted - so I need a wife.

To take my mind off business I need a night that's all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.

The skim of Scarlett King's hair over my body as she bends over...

The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name...

The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge...

It all helps me forget.

I just didn't bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.

She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.

A sexy, stand-alone romance.

For Harper and Max's story, listen to King of Wall Street.

For Violet and Alexander's story, listen to The British Knight.

For Darcy and Logan's story, listen to The Earl of London.

For Grace and Sam's story, listen to Park Avenue Prince.

Perfect fairytale romance!

It was predictable with plenty of romance & steam. This started as an 'about last night' and ended with my heart fluttering. There's no real drama. I enjoyed listening to Scarlet's story (sister of Max King of King of Wall Street). LB didn't disappoint. Although this is a series, this being book 3 these are all stand alone books for various family or friends of Max King. Narrators were fantastic! Would be a great road trip listen. Worth my credit: yes! I can't wait for Violet's book.

Medium good

This is another romance novel with the basic formula - get married to secure the inheritance, and fall in love along the way. Only, each is too blind or scared to recognize love had moved into their hearts. And of course, the sex is off the charts. In the absence of any new and truly creative romance novels, this book is formula but also well written. Thin characters who are at least likable. An easy listen.

A good light read or listen

I listened to this and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was one of those beneficial business relationship types of book. The story is predictable, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. I will say that there were a lot, a whole lot of bumping uglies if you know what I mean. It was a good book for me, a light read or listen.

predictable plot with low angst

The story was somewhat predictable with low drama. Saskia Maarleveld and Shane East's performance was great.

Romantic

First chance at love meets second chance at happiness! truly entertaining story. These two were truly puzzle pieces that were meant to fit into each other.

Bay knows how to write a love scene

Not big fan of Shane East, loved Saskia Maarleveld. Hot, fun, relatable, frustrating love story.
