About this ebook

This entry in the USA Today–bestselling Regency romance series features a handsome duke who hopes love won’t cost a thing.

This season, all eyes are on the Earl of Worthington’s spirited, beautiful sister, Lady Louisa Vivers. Many gentlemen are vying for her attention in and around the ton. Yet, Louisa longs for someone who can take her beyond the ballroom—a man who is worldly, adventurous, and passionate. She won’t settle for just any suitor. She wants her true soul mate—and she’ll know him when she sees him.

Is Gideon, the Duke of Rothwell, him? The moment he and Louisa meet, they share a powerful attraction. Rides at sunrise and waltzes at dusk follow. Finally, Gideon can no longer resist the urge to embrace her, and Louisa is sure he will ask for her hand. But Gideon believes he is in no position to marry. The Rothwell estate has gone bankrupt, a scandal simmers in its wake, and he has nothing left to offer. Now, he must decide if he will let pride stand in the way of true love—or if he will risk everything, and let the lady decide for herself…

    finding true love!Lady Louise Vivers, the Earl of Worthington's sister, is wonderful. Intelligent, opinionated and compassionate, and wanting true love like her siblings. A woman who knows her own mind. And her mind is set on her brother's friend, Gideon, the Duke of Rothwell. Their first sighting of each other is galloping down Hyde Park in the early morning mists. Louise accompanied by a massive dog seemingly straight out of the Hound of Baskervilles. (Ok, I'm mixing up my timelines for the sake of an adequate descriptor!)On inheriting his title, Gideon has found his estates in disarray with scandal nipping at his heels, and is doing all he can to bring things around. That's not all, his father has acted strangely just before his death, running up debts and setting up a mistress. Unfathomable behaviour that has Gideon appalled and yet his mother seems strangely detached and forgiving. He's determined that marrying a rich heiress is not going to be his way. He loves Louise but is unable to share his shame. Louise wants someone who will share all with her, who will let her into their life.I must admit that I found Gideon somewhat stubborn and obtuse, stymied by his pride. Louise really has a struggle with how to respond to his lack of full communication. However all comes good.As always I found Quinn's author's note illuminating with regards to to the situation Gideon found himself in and the practices of the times.A NetGalley ARC

    Ok. Its official. This author writes the most distasteful books ever. I'd started off with her first book on lady Phoebe which I couldn't read beyond 50 pages. I tolerated the book with Alex and Dorie coz I really liked Alex's character. The book with dotty was miserable. Couldn't manage beyond 30 pgs but I persevered. And managed to read the entire book. This one is horribly boring. There's no story. One cannot write 400 pages of balls and parties. I disliked every one of her heroines. They are stubborn, opiniated, manipulative women who have decided how to play their husbands. It's a misconception that these women come across as strong women but I disagree totally. I'm not touching another of her books again. WHERE IS THE EDITOR ?
