This is definitely an engaging Historical Romance that will keep you turning the pages. What I found highly unusual was that after the happy ending--you are invited to click over and read an extra short epilogue which will tell you what happens after the story ends. I love this idea!!!!

She ultimately becomes part of the household helping with the Duke's senile Grandmother and befriending his young and rambunctious daughter.
