No one is more surprised than Lord North when he returns from war to find his ex-fiancee in his ancestral home…working as a governess in a sexy, fiery new Wildes of Lindow Castle romance by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James…
The handsome, rakish heir to a dukedom, Lord Roland Northbridge Wilde—known to his friends as North—left England two years ago, after being jilted by Miss … England two years ago, after being jilted by Miss Diana Belgrave. He returns from war to find that he’s notorious: polite society has ruled him “too wild to wed.”
Diana never meant to tarnish North’s reputation, or his heart, but in her rush to save a helpless child, there was no time to consider the consequences of working as a governess in Lindow Castle. Now everyone has drawn the worst conclusions about the child’s father, and Diana is left with bittersweet regret.
When North makes it clear that he still wants her for his own, scandal or no, Diana has to fight to keep from losing her heart to the man whom she still has no intention of marrying.
Yet North is returning a hardened warrior—and this is one battle he’s determined to win.
He wants Diana, and he’ll risk everything to call her his own.

I LOVED North in this story! He was the perfect hero, with the slight darkness from what he’d experienced and the emotional growth he had from his experiences. Diana, not so much my favorite. I loved that she knew herself and what she Didn’t want in life. She just wasn’t capable of anything else! She’s lovable in the first half of the book, but in the 2nd half she does become a bit annoying. I liked the story line in that it was a different situation that we normally come across, but the constant protesting did become too much. I do hope we get to see Lavina’s story next! Thank you for the ARC so I could get the story ahead of time.
