About this ebook

A Mass Market Original—Also Available in a Hardcover Library EditionUSA Today bestselling author Lenora Bell returns with her third book in the sexy School for Dukes series.

Ready.

Raised in the countryside by her overprotective uncle, Miss Mina Penny’s dream of a triumphant London season is finally here. She determined her perfect match long ago: Rafe Bentley, the wickedest rake of them all. There’s only one very large, very unyielding obstacle: Rafe’s brother Drew, the reclusive Duke of Thorndon.

Aim.

This was supposed to be simple. Duke goes to London. Duke selects suitable bride. Love match? Not a chance. But when Drew meets Mina, she complicates everything. How can a lady armed with such beauty and brains fall for his irresponsible degenerate of a brother? Drew vows to save her from heartbreak and ruin, no matter the cost.

Desire!

But Mina is no damsel in distress. She’s daring, intuitive, passionate…and halfway to melting Drew’s cold heart. And although Mina thought she knew exactly what she wanted, one breathtakingly seductive kiss from Drew changes everything. Now Mina must decide between long-held dreams and dangerous new desires. Could her true destiny lie in the arms of a duke?

Ratings and reviews

Okay (pleasant?) romance. Three stars because I was more irritated with the female character than I usually am, especially towards the end. From reading the description, I was expecting Mina's "marry Rafe" plan to hold central to the plot but it didn't. That notion was quickly discarded. Instead of cluelessness about her feelings holding her back (which is typical in a historical romance), it was her viewpoint that her future career was more important than their feelings, which was somehow more irritating. It worked out great in the end, of course, but the journey to get there was less than pleasant for me to read. I suppose it's just a preference thing.
