Wilde Child by Eloisa James
4.0
Joan wants desperately to act on the stage, preferably in a male role. Her father agrees to allow her to do this at home in the castle with the troupe of actors that stops there every year, so she chooses Hamlet and convinces her best friend Otis to play Ophelia.
Thaddeus has been a friend of the family since he was a young boy at Eton, he's courted 2 of the Wilde daughters without success so far, but he'd never consider courting Joan, it just wouldn't do for a Duke's wife to be illegitimate, even if her father claims her and loves as his own anyways.
These 2 spark, she actually manages to make him laugh, which isn't like him, and he's so protective of her it's alpha-dorable. He calms her down by helping her fulfill her dreams and she cracks his perfectly controlled shell just enough that you get to meet the man behind the title.
There is the usual family drama, because let's face it, they're Wilde's by blood or marriage which is always entertaining as well.
I wonder if the youngest Wilde's will get their own books or if this is where it ends?? :)
