The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham
fast-paced
4.0
Archer, Duke of Westmead, needs an heir. Poppy is a neighbor and a botanist. Archer's sister Charlotte hires Poppy to decorate for a ball to find her brother's bride. Poppy and Archer are discovered in a compromising situation and are forced to marry: Poppy for a greenhouse and Archer for his heir. Meanwhile, they both have secrets that complicate the situation.
While I enjoyed this story, a lot is going on. The two main characters are fine, though I would have liked to see more about Archer's secret and how Poppy handles it; I felt the discovery was rather abrupt and since it's so unusual to find this (no spoilers) in historical romances, I would have liked more about it, but it just pops up towards the end of the book. Charlotte, Archer's sister, is great and adds lots of fun to the story. All in all, an interesting book.
