Sloane Knox, the Duke of Hawksthorn, has one mission: to marry off his sister. A notorious scoundrel, he's never looked out for anyone other than himself - unit now. Hawk has the perfect gentleman for his sister in mind. But what he didn't count on was the man's sharp-tongued sister to get in his way... Miss Loretta Quick knows a thing or two about arranged marriages, having escaped one herself. So when the arrogant - and breathtakingly handsome - due tries to force a loveless marriage on her brother, Loretta makes it her personal crusade to stop his nonsense once and for all. But despite all her tricks at avoiding marriage, Loretta finds herself an innocent up against the most scandalous of rakes, and she can't deny that she's in danger of losing her heart to the duke...
Hawk and Loretta had banter that was fun to follow. She didn't bow to his dukedom and stood her ground with him, even when he was determined to go to "war" with her.
I would have liked a little more closure between Loretta and her uncle. He banished her, but that all fell by the wayside when Hawk stepped in.
A great addition to this series. Amelia Grey is one of my go-to historical authors and she doesn't disappoint with this one.
