Upon being summoned by his mother, Declan, the Duke of Byrning, worries it will be another matchmaking scheme. Fortunately, the meddling dowager actually wants him to end a match: an impending engagement between Declan’s impetuous cousin and the Cantonese born-out-of-wedlock daughter of a lord. When Declan meets Grace Richards, the purportedly unsuitable lady, he is captivated by the capable, courageous woman. Years of fighting the hot-headed Byrning legacy, however, make him hesitant to follow his heart.
VERDICT Lee (Almost a Scot) begins her “Daring Debutantes” duet with this steamy Regency romance. The bold heroine and her adventurous spirit make for an erotic and enchanting read.
