Summary

Can a Duke's bastard win the heart of a lady?

Plucked as an orphan from the slums of St. Giles' by his half-brother, the Duke of Blackmore, Sebastian Black soon rises to become one of the richest men in London, and a notorious rake to boot. His time at Eton has left him with a healthy disregard for the aristocracy - that is until he inadvertently becomes involved in the affairs of the prim, proper, and snooty Aurelia St Claire.

Aurelia's brother, Lord Theodore Epsom, was reported missing after Waterloo, but she is convinced that she has sighted him alive and well in London. The pair join forces to try to discover exactly what happened to Theo. And as their sleuthing takes them into London's murky back alleys, they discover that they aren’t so different after all.

Can two people overcome their prejudices, their foibles - or even their very history - to find love?

This clean Regency Romance is by the author of Proposing to a Duke, the first novel in The Regency Black Hearts Collection. It can be read as a stand-alone novel or enjoyed as part of a series.

Not quite your typical Regency romance...

This book isn't quite what you expect. It has your tall, dark and handsome, successful son of a Duke (even if he is illegitimate), your damsel in distress, the villains with nefarious intentions, the greedy relatives, and the eccentric character. However, the story isn't quite as simple as it seems. For instance, the most prejudiced and snobbish character is not an aristocrat, the hero of the hour is not the aforementioned Duke's son, and the potentially shelved spinsters aren't falling all over themselves to find husbands. The characters are quirky and imperfect which makes the story more enjoyable.

While it is obvious that the two main characters feel an attraction and the HEA appears inevitable, the reader must traverse a few unexpected turns along the way. The result is a clean, charming Recency romance that is slightly off the beaten path.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
