He married for money, she wed by force ~ Neither considered love part of the bargainOn the brink of losing everything, the Duke of Summerton marries heiress Caroline Howlett, but at what cost? She wants neither his crumbling estate nor his title, and what is he, as a man, without them? Before he can resolve this dilemma, something more dangerous than doubt threatens their marriage.When Caroline … marriage.
When Caroline said she’d rather be dead than married to the duke, she hadn’t meant it literally. Forced into marriage by her guardian, Caroline doesn’t give a fig for the idle life of the aristocracy. She wants to run her father’s enterprises, and she will, once dead bodies stop getting in the way.
Aided by Summerton’s widowed aunt, amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor, the duke and his reluctant bride scramble to discover just who is trying to kill them.

Great read for a rainy afternoon.
Good. Ok. Great characters and plot
Good characters but a PG 13 and I want something a little more intense.
Nice story line with a couple of unique twists and turns. Enjoyed it very much.
Interesting story twist. It wasn’t just about the couple and their relationship.
Loved it.
Great read!
I really enjoyed reading this book. I am looking forward to reading other books by this author.
I really enjoyed this book. It was well written with well-developed characters and an interesting plot. There was romance to enjoy, but so much more. It wasn’t a story fabricated around a romance, it was a great story that included romance.
A light but engaging book.
Good read
Well developed characters with some unexpected turns and events. Enjoyable read
The blossoming relationship and discovery of love kept me glued to the pages! Not to mention the mystery of who done it!
Enjoyed the book, but the ending seemed rushed.
Not the best
Lots of twists and turns, plot is engaging, and the sex scenes are not ridiculous and cliché-it is tasteful
This was a fun book to read with many twist and turns. I like romance stories with action and adventure and this had all three.
Too much graphic sex
Suspenseful and interesting characters. Mystery with a twist. Happily ever after. Clean romance.
It was a great read, very engaging and love the happy ending always. I give it a four star rating
