Summary

With her betrothal to a duke in tatters and scandal imminent, Diana Kingman has two choices: live in certain ignominy or flee into obscurity. Diana wants solitude. She never wished to wed in the first place. However, her father will stop at nothing to betroth her to one of the finest titles in the realm...no matter how loathsome the bearer. Escape is Diana’s only option, and she’ll pay any price to achieve freedom.

Universally blamed for the death of his wife and unborn child, Simon Hastings doesn’t dispute his guilt over an accident he cannot even remember. He hasn’t had a drink since, nor a moment’s peace. Determined to be a better man, Simon rescues a young woman in need - only to be accused of kidnapping. They must marry to save him from prison. But how can a man haunted by the love he lost and a woman afraid to get too close find happiness together?

recording needs editing

The story is unbelievable but ok. But having an entire section repeated in Chapter 6 means the book wasn't as long as expected.

Loved it!

I loved watching the love blossom between Simon and Diana.

I also loved the unexpected twist in the story and that we didn't have to hear about countless children in the epilogue which was becoming tedious.

Well done Darcy for writing such very well drawn story.

My favourite Dukes so far are Desire, Danger and Ruin. I can't wait to see what the others are like.
