“My castle, my rules. Without them the deal is off, my lady.”

Cordelia has just killed her guardian. At least, that’s what she believes after fending off his lecherous advances. Still, scandal was inevitable, especially after she kissed a Duke...

But nothing happens in Duke Mason’s castle without him knowing. So, terrified that her diversion failed, she runs off. And he was certain he would never see her again…until his mother hired her as her new companion.

She only needs shelter until her inheritance is hers and her guardian can no longer touch her. But the longer Mason keeps her under his roof, the more he finds himself tempted. Protecting her was never the problem… resisting her is.

I loved the start of this book. It was so quirky and funny. A hilarious reaction to a situation. Mason and Cordelia were perfect from the start.

I feel some side characters stories fell a bit short and wished to hear more of their stories. Maybe in future novels.

I do feel some of the drama with the mother felt forced but loved the protectiveness Mason showed for Cordelia.

The love story was sweet, fun, and funny. If you want a fun rainy day romance to read, I would totally recommend.

Couldn’t put the book down!

Loved the characters and the author brought them to life with their personalities. It left me smiling and a happy ending.
It was during a time when women didn’t have rights.

Surprising

Cordelia and Mason seemed to be an extremely mismatched couple, she was a bit ditzy and he was very serious. Gradually they smoothed each other’s rough edges and married. Unfortunately Cordelia was being threatened and it was entertaining how they solved the situation.
