At first the Duke of Waverly, Edward Lacey, thought he's not ready to be caught in a marriage trap, despite his mother's machination to marry him off to her friend's daughter, he's managed to stay unattached. But then came in an intelligent, outspoken and spitfire american girl, Miss Daphne Farrington, who has an aversion to England's dreary weather, the grimy streets of London, and most especially the English aristocracy. The Duke was captivated from the moment they met, that he changed his mind about marriage, right then and there, he vowed to get to know her, determined to change her mind.Daphne Farrington is intelligent, spirited and beautiful. Edward Lacey is caring, handsome and confident, also, holds a secret, that unless he can convince her that not all English lords are calculating rakes, this dark secret will ruin his chance at happiness with her.Though the heroine is quick to judge the duke, I found myself charmed by her outspoken witty character. I really enjoyed this book, it is light, sensual and even though it was short, I thought it was just right, it's a such an endearing tale about how love changes even the most determined heart, I highly recommend it.*** an arc was provided by NetGalley ***
