About this ebook

Once upon a time…

A duke fell in love

Gowan Stoughton of Craigievar, Duke of Kinross, values order and self-control above all else. So when he meets a lady as serene as she is beautiful, he promptly asks for her hand in marriage.

With a lady

Edie—whose passionate temperament is the opposite of serene—had such a high fever at her own debut ball that she didn’t notice anyone, not even the notoriously elusive Duke of Kinross. When her father accepts his offer… she panics.

And when their marriage night isn’t all it could be, she pretends.

In a tower.

But Edie’s inability to hide her feelings makes pretending impossible, and when their marriage implodes, she retreats to a tower—locking Gowan out.

Now Gowan faces his greatest challenge.  Neither commands nor reason work with his spirited young bride. How can he convince her to give him the keys to the tower…

When she already has the keys to his heart?

Ratings and reviews

It was ok i guess.... Nowhere near as good as when beauty tamed the beast. In fact, this one has made me hesitant to buy the other ones in this series

Great reading. You can't stop til the very last page, and even if it's 3:27 am, you want to read another of her books.

Not all marriage start off smooth and easy. Communications are the keys. How could you not forgive a hero risking his life to reach into your heart and soul?
