Andrew Macalister, the Duke of Bradstone, hates his family's annual birthday ball. Except for this year, he sees one woman he thought he would never see again, Lady Clara Masson. Several years ago, Andrew was engaged to Clara's twin sister only to have her leave him at the altar for a footman.
Now Andrew is openly courting social pariah Clara. When her brother assaults her, Andrew steps up and announces they are engaged.
This was a book I so wanted to like. I loved the opening but when the author kept cramming trope after trope into the book, I didn't like it. You have the brother hating the sister, hidden child, the mystery of girl running off with the footman. Just too much to make the book work in my opinion.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.
