When proper widow Theodosia Haviland rescues him from a compromising situation, he knows he's found an advisor he can trust. Theo's first marriage taught her the folly of indulging in romantic notions, and she's determined that Jonathan Tresham's intended be an ideal match for him, not some smitten ninnyhammer. When Jonathan suggests Theo should be at the top of his list of possible duchesses, she protests, though she knows that Jonathan is kind and honorable despite his gruff exterior. The last person Theo can allow Jonathan to marry is a widow guarding scandalous secrets, even if she does also harbor an entirely inappropriate attraction to the one man she can never have. .… (mehr)

Another wonderful Grace Burrowes romance.

Loved the characters, Jonathan Tresham and Theodosia Haviland. Loved seeing the Dorning brothers again.

The plot was so believable, poignant, bittersweet yet hopeful. (

Jonathan Tresham, the heir to a Duke, needs to find a wife, but he has been away from society and has other business concerns that he'd rather pursue. He hires widow Theo Haviland to find him the perfect wife. Theo comes up with a list, but Jonathan decides Theo is actually the perfect match for him.
There are some almost predictable issues inserted here for some drama before the end of the book, but I was surprised by a few little plot twists. Theo and Jonathan are nice but I found the first part of the book a bit slow. I also didn't understand why Theo confided so much to this strange man when she was also so concerned about her reputation. So this wasn't my favorite Burrowes book (it probably didn't help that I just reread The Heir).
Still, it's an enjoyable and fast read, and I liked how Theo finally came around and how Jonathan finally solved the mystery at his club. (

'Anselm, why the hell didn't you warn me?' Jonathan Tresham spoke quietly, lest his ire be detected over the string quartet in the minstrel's gallery.
