Grace Lowerby’s love of fairy tales sparked her infatuation with the Duke of Hardgraves. That, plus her grandmother’s frequent reminders that her mother scandalously married below her station, have her certain that she simply must wed Hardgraves and live happily ever after. Thomas Hayward also wants something from the duke, though his designs are of the investment type. Knowing from their youth that Hardgraves is both petulant and near-penniless, Thomas is hardly surprised when the duke suggests a wooing wager for Grace’s affection.
VERDICT Shepherd (Falling for the Forbidden Duke) presents a steamy Victorian romance to start the new “Rakes, Rebels and Rogues” series.
