The Lady's Last Mistake

A Bow Street Duchess Mystery, Book 8

By: Cara Devlin

Narrated by: Allie Rose

For years, Lady Cassandra Sinclair has harbored a scandalous secret and a painful loss. Unwilling to trust a man again, Cassie throws herself into a confidential project—a private home for pregnant, unwed women. But after she is seen there by the arrogant lord she once fought feelings for, the walls around Cassie's secret life begin to crumble.

Physician and fourth son of a marquess, Lord Grant Thornton is content with his reputation as a debauched widower. No respectable lady wants to marry a rogue, and Grant has no intention of marrying again. But his father's impatience for a male grandchild to carry on the family title spirals into a demand that Grant either remarry and aid in the effort—or be cut off. When Grant discovers Cassie operating the much-whispered-about Hope House in the poverty-stricken stews of Whitechapel, he's as impressed at her daring as he is furious. He also sees a wicked opportunity . . .

Cassie is appalled when Grant threatens to expose her secret unless she agrees to a staged courtship. With any hope, the child his brother is expecting will be a boy, and Grant will be off the hook. But until then, Cassie intends to make him regret his scheming. Acting the part of besotted couple in public, the two bitter adversaries clash in private, until an inconvenient attraction becomes unruly—and unstoppable.

previous side characters

Loved the main characters coming from previous side characters who were already loved. Enjoyed every minute.

Loved the series

Loved the series . Wish it had not ended. I would love one about Sir. And another Duchess (Viscount and Viscountess) mystery

Modern dilemma as old as time.

I loved the two main characters firstly attempt to act the part in their rolls for the time period with deep wounds that blocked their ability to move forward.

Love it

I'm just sorry this is the last of the series. The Bow Street Duchess is one of my favorites.

Wonderful series

Headstrong and smart women, strong and caring men who love those women makes for very entertaining stories. Should be read in sequential order. Very enjoyable every one!

Cassie is annoying

The only reason I kept listening was the narrator. The character Cassie isn’t lovable She’s nasty and cruel. I wouldn’t have picked this book if I’d know she was still going to behave like a spoiled brat
