Now the new Duke of Hollinburgh, Nicholas Radnor has two duties to fulfill: locate the mysterious woman mentioned in his late uncle's will and acquire a suitable bride. When bedazzling, unconventional Iris Barrington shows up at the estate, Nicholas believes he may have found the missing beneficiary—unless she is a charlatan, or worse. But as for his second duty—he is finding it difficult to think of any other woman while tantalizing thoughts of Iris occupy his mind. He agrees to fulfill the late duke's promise to her, even as he grows suspicious of both her motives and the danger that seems to surround her. All of which keeps her temptingly close at hand . . .

Iris will do anything to restore honor to her beloved grandfather's name. Even tangle with the likes of Nicholas, a man whose formidable intellect and good looks lure her like no other. But all her years on the continent have not prepared her for the sensual onslaught she discovers in his embrace—or the devastation of almost losing him to malicious intentions. Now Iris's desire to unearth the scandal behind the dukedom burns ever brighter: for doing so might also protect the man who has stolen her heart . . .

Contains mature themes.

As I was reading this series, I was surprised to realize that this last book was not released. Then, the next day it was available, I snatched it up, and I couldn't help feeling auspicious about it. This book was very intriguing as Iris's whole family history was wrapped up in the plot. There were repeated attempts to kill these two and an unlikely cat to the rescue! In the end, all the mysteries are explained including the old duke's death. I was most impressed by the fact that Iris would not borrow money for any reason, even while waiting to receive this inheritance.

Iris is an enjoyable, sensible character

We should have had an epilogue. Needed a little more of their story. Feels unfinished to me.

I feel cheated

Strong smart and loving characters. Some wonderful and some irritating family. Mystery, romance, friendship, and lust is told through 3 great stories. The characters and friends move through out the telling.

Excellent series— great story & characters!

I more or less liked the ending. The rest of the book was boring. Very little of significance happened. Also, the writer needed to build on the main characters’ likability and emotional connection to one another. They both seemed to run on attraction alone until the end and there wasn’t a very clear romantic build-up. The narrator was fantastic, as always, and that made this book better - but not enough for me ro give it 4 stars. Hunter is a good writer, this just wasn’t one of her better stories.

Slow and needs tweaking

None of the books ended well, but the last in the series cries for an epilogue. The birth of Chase and ? ‘s baby, the marriage of Nicole and Iris,
Needs so much closure
