Diana and Giles have always shared a witty banter that looks like shared disdain, but their closest relations truly believe the two would make a perfect match. However, they couldn’t be more different - he is the son of a Duke and loves lavish parties. Diana was been raised in a tough neighborhood, and though she is now living in Mayfair with family, her true passion is moonlighting with a newspaper. When Giles’ father suddenly passes, leaving him the newest Duke of Harpenden, he turns to Diana and her expert sleuthing to get to the bottom of a secret that has been haunting him for years. 

 

Diana may be one of my favorite historical romance heroines! She is as smart as can be, loyal to a fault, and determined to hold on to whatever freedom she can grasp. Giles is lovely and funny, and his obvious goading of Diana is a clear sign he is infatuated. The whole book was just enjoyable! A great slowburn with an intriguing mystery, and characters I really loved! I hope we see youngest sister Vee’s love story in the next book! 

 

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
