Keenly intelligent Charlotte Windham has managed to avoid the schemes of her matchmaking relatives and numerous unsuitable proposals for years. But when wealthy businessman Lucas Sherbourne catches her reluctant attention, it's all she can do to refuse him-until an ill-timed farewell kiss takes the decision out of their hands and sends them off to Lucas's home and latest business venture in Wales-married and wary but resolved to make the relationship work. A fierce, high-born heroine with a secret agenda and an astute commoner hero struggling to make sense of his place in two social worlds discover devotion and true understanding in a cleverly plotted story that rights an old wrong, brings a villain to justice, and ties up loose series threads in a brilliantly executed plot twist that will have fans saying, "Yes!" VERDICT With flawless prose, delicious wit, and an unerring ability to bring complex characters to life, Burrowes revisits the engaging Windhams and delivers another winner; pure reading gold. Burrowes (No Other Duke Will Do) lives in rural Maryland. [See "Spring Editors' Picks," LJ 2/1/18, p. 31.] © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
