From the back of the book:
THE DUKE’S OBSESSION
The Duke will stop at nothing to get his sons to marry and ensure the succession…
AN EARL WHO CAN’T BE BRIBED…
Gayle Windham, Earl of Westhaven, is the first legitimate son and heir to the duke of Moreland. To escape his father’s inexorable pressure to marry, he decided to spend the summer at his townhouse in London, where he finds himself intrigued by the secretive ways of his beautiful housekeeper…
A LADY WHO CAN’T BE PROTECTED…
Anna Seaton is a beautiful, talented, educated woman, which is why it is so puzzling to Gayle Windham that she works as his housekeeper.
As the two draw closer and begin to lose their hearts to each other, Anna’s secrets threaten to bring the earl’s orderly life crashing down - and he doesn’t know how he’s going to protect her from the fallout…
I really loved this debut historical romance. The chemistry between Westhaven and Anna is amazing. I loved the way that this couple was written. The reader is given clues through the whole story about Anne and her secrets, but not enough that her past is blatantly obvious and I was a little surprised when it was revealed. The secondary characters really make this book perfect. I absolutely loved Westhaven’s brothers and his father. They are fantastically written, three dimensional, and really help move the plot along. I’m hoping that they get their own stories in the future.
