Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
4.0

Grace has been forced into hiding all her life. Born a woman and deemed a mistake, her father hid her existence and forced his male bastards to fight for her title. After 20 years in hiding Grace, now known as Dahlia, is now able to live freely, or so she thought. Now her childhood love turned adversary, Ewan posing as the rightful heir of Marwick, has returned to London, and is searching for a wife. Grace must decide what to do with the maelstrom of emotions she still has for Ewan, all while her empire in Covent Gardens is under threat of attack.

In the third book of the Bareknuckle Bastards series, we get a good look at Grace/Dahlia and Ewan/the Duke of Marwick. Sarah MacLean does a great job of drawing the reading in and utilizing her well-developed characters from previous series. Every time I pick up a new book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series, I find myself wishing I had re-read all the previous books so I can lose myself in the series. Like the other books in this series, this is bound to be the historical romance pick for the summer of 2020.
