A duchess in time saves a noble line . . .
In theory, the Duke of Candover is the most eligible peer in the realm. But in truth, he has a deep aversion to the merest hint of marriage, not to mention two botched engagements which have marked his jaded soul. Now, after a debauched bachelor party that causes public outcry, the Prince Regent is demanding that it's Candover's turn to be brought to heel. And Prinny secretly believes that Isabelle Tremont, the Duchess of March, is precisely the lady up to the challenge.
Isabelle must marry, but a day of reckoning with the man she's loved for years is her greatest fear. If Candover insists she's too young and innocent for a seasoned world-weary man like him, there's no shortage of other candidates. Gentlemen of prestige and position. Gentlemen whose attentions are driving Candover to jealous distraction. Yet one abandoned moment under the stars hints that if they can put aside pride and duty, then a love once denied might just be their destiny.

Starred review from June 15, 2014
As a result of a bit too much scandal, the Prince Regent has demanded that James Fitzroy, the world-weary, marriage-averse Duke of Candover, give up his wild ways and finally tie the knot. With two disastrous engagements in his wake, though, James is not about to comply. Isabelle Tremont, the young Duchess of March, has been ordered to wed, as well, and her friend James--and her secret love since childhood--is the perfect choice. However, whatever her hopes, owing to the differences in their age and experience, Isabelle fears he won't agree. When her bold proposal nets a refusal, she is prepared and pulls out her list of other "eligible parties" under consideration--and sets the stage for a most interesting Little Season. VERDICT Once again, Nash's impeccable Regency roots shine as she pens another exquisitely detailed, deliciously sensual, and sometimes outrageous escapade that sees all lovers properly aligned, beautifully wrapping up this engaging series. RITA Award-winning Nash (The Duke Diaries) lives in Potomac, MD.
