Dare to Love a Duke by Eva Leigh
5.0
Now that's how you do it! What a fantastically sensual and angsty in the best way romance, with one of the swooniest HEAs I've read this year. I'll write a better review when I'm not on my phone but all the yes.
Thomas Powell is now the Duke of Northfield. No longer can he carouse the town or enjoy his Thursday nights at the Orchid Club discussing everything and anything with its seductive and enigmatic proprietress, a masked woman he knows as Amina. Thomas shares one hot night of passion with the woman he's been enchanted with for years before taken on his ducal responsibilities.
One of those responsibilities turns out to be a huge secret. Thomas's father, a strict conservative, was actually the owner of the Orchid Club. Now Thomas must decide if he can keep this partnership with Amina, otherwise known as Lucia, or throw it all away. Not to mention he can't keep away from the woman who has stolen his heart.
Complications of society, propriety, and doing what is right, if not popular, lead to one of the most emotionally satisfying HEAs I've ever read. Lucia is a fantastic leading lady and I adored that she was a sex worker who got her HEA. Everyone deserves one.
