Description

He swore he'd never love again...
She'd risk her ravaged heart time and again to prove him wrong...

Much to his aggravation, the wickedly handsome Duke of Sethe is wanted by every husband-hunting, title-chasing female in the country, or so it seems.  

Twice betrayed by women he loved, Nicholas Leighton is no longer the gullible young fool he was in his youth.  Having grown cold and cynical, as well as older and wiser, he has vowed to never again allow another woman to affect him emotionally, for he has learned his lessons and learned them well.  So, when the breathtakingly lovely Ashleigh St. John suddenly and unexpectedly enters his life, as well as his home, he is determined to keep the alluring interloper at an emotional and physical distance.  Unfortunately, he quickly discovers that some things are easier said than done.

Reckless and daring, Ashleigh St. John is an unconventional young lady with the heart of a hopeless romantic.  When she meets Nicholas Leighton she knows she has met the man of her dreams, but unfortunately, the man of her dreams seems bound and determined to keep her at a distance, hiding behind a self-erected wall of cool detachment and calculated indifference.   Willing to do almost anything to break through the intractable barriers that guard his heart, she will willingly surrender her innocence, and time and again risk her ravaged heart to ultimately win his trust, and more importantly, his love.

    The storyline is great, but the characters are simply extraordinary! You rejoice, then cry right along with the heroine. Please, don’t pass on this spectacular novel! She writes beautifully and keeps you enthralled until the last written word!

    I understand that Nicholas had been through a lot but I hated how he treated Ashleigh. Ashleigh was such a beautiful and loving person I hated the verbal abuse. All in all great book . The characters were well developed . I loved the fun dialogue. I also liked that it referenced abuse and alcoholism.

    Read it in one sitting. First book I have read from this author but looking forward to her other books now. Good character development and enough twists to hold my interest throughout.

    Didn’t care for the either of the characters. Nicholas was a jerk and ashleigh was a pushover. Story was alright though.

    I enjoyed this book very much. Love is a funny thing. I have had this book in the cloud. My late husband mother was beat and abused and disappeared in '66. We have always felt their dad killed her but never had proof. So they didn't have a graven to go to.your story had a happy ending.
