As the daughter of an up-and-coming architect trying to cement his place in society, Marina dutifully made her debut and attends stodgy social functions full of arrogant aristocrats. When she meets Brook, Duke of Framlingham, he is intrigued by her intelligence. Though neither has a mind toward marriage, they realize that forming a fake engagement would allow them the freedom they desire—for Brook to travel and for Marina to toil at composing without interruption. The forced proximity of this arrangement, however, swiftly ignites a passion neither anticipated.
VERDICT Morris (Beguiling Her Enemy Warrior) presents a sexy Regency romance full of complex characters. The wit and warmth are sure to win readers’ hearts.
