Until Genevieve is faced with a fateful choice . . . is there anything she won't do for a duke? Contains mature themes.… (meer)
I don’t know why I am only just now getting around to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the Duke.

The heroine did hold on to her love for the other man a bit too long but honestly the story took place in such a short period of time that it was pretty realistic that it would not be instant. ( )
