His parents’ scandalous behaviour has brought the House of Trent into disrepute and Simon has spent all his life trying the restore the Hawkins’ family reputation. Honour, integrity, decency and propriety are the principles by which Simon Hawkins has lived since becoming Duke of Trent. When Simon Hawkins, the Duke of Trent, receives news from his sister, Esme, that his mother has mysteriously disappeared, he returns home to Ironwood Park to investigate, aided by his three brothers and his half-brother. A charming story, it features two of my favourite tropes, friends to lovers and a cross class romance. This is my first time reading Jennifer Haymore and I really enjoyed THE DUCHESS HUNT, the first book in her House of Trent series. Now, caught in a blackmailer’s web, Simon faces an agonizing choice: Sacrifice his family’s future, or break Sarah’s heart.
As the couple begins a forbidden romance, a cunning enemy plots to destroy the duke and everything he loves. But dukes do not long for lady’s maids–or so Sarah believes, until a stolen kiss sparks a passion that could be her ultimate undoing. Sarah Osborne has spent her life dreaming of Simon’s touch. For there waits the only woman he has ever loved-and the last woman he should desire. He lives by a strict code of honor, but when he is called home to investigate his mother’s disappearance, the distinguished duke will tangle with temptation. Rumors and innuendo have darkened the House of Trent for decades, and it has fallen to Simon to restore his tattered family name. Simon Hawkins, Duke of Trent, is no stranger to scandal.
