About this audiobook
A desperate wallflower . . .
As the fourth daughter of a baron, Miss Hannah Fairchild has no dreams of grandeur when it comes to marriage. Forget a duke or an earl. The shy, spinsterly wallflower would be happy with a doctor or (even better) the bookseller's son. Unfortunately, if she wants to save her family from financial ruin—and her father from debtor's prison—a duke is precisely what she needs.
A disfigured duke . . .
Severely injured from a fall as a young child, the Duke of Wycliffe has spent much of his adult life in bitter seclusion. Withdrawn from the outside world and everyone in it who mocked him for his physical disfigurement, Evan fully intends to spend the rest of his days in isolation at Wycliffe Manor. Until a stammering, gray-eyed bookmouse arrives on his doorstep and proposes marriage.
An unexpected proposal . . .
To Hannah's disbelief, the Duke of Wycliffe actually agrees to her ridiculous proposal—under one condition. Their marriage, such as it is, will be in name only. But there are no guarantees when two lonely, vulnerable hearts are involved . . . and soon Hannah and Evan find themselves doing the one thing they promised they wouldn't. Falling in love.
Contains mature themes.

Silly and serious together. I went from reading some very serious pieces to this sexy and fun read. I loved Kitty she is such a lovable character and Byron trying to elude but dude you are going to get caught in the spider’s web. As fun as this book was there are moments where there are serious issues that come to light and that need to be addressed. I loved the book and I highly recommend it. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

My very favorite trope of the damaged hero and the woman who can bring him back to life. Jillian Eaton has penned another stellar tale that pulled at my heart and even after turning the last page, I still have a smile on my face. Byron, the Duke of Wakefield had not desire to marry because his father had shown him just how it would be. But Lady Kitty Dower had other ideas and wants Byron for her husband. He exhibits everything she wants but he is going to be a challenge. Well Kitty is up to the challange and with her fiery, spirited attitude she is determined. Can Byron resist the charming Kitty? Great story and not to be missed. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
