About this listen

Pride, lust, envy, and greed . . . vices that could lead a gentleman down the road to ruin. Unless he meets his saving grace in the form of a bespectacled bluestocking . . .

Jared Malcolm Lippincott, the Sixth Duke of Wyndmere, has restored the family fortune. Will his plans to restore the family name mend his pride? An unknown enemy from the past will stop at nothing to ruin him.

Lady Persephone does not wish to marry, cleverly donning the guise of a bespectacled bluestocking to discourage offers of marriage. Fate has other plans the night she falls into the duke's arms, captivated by the sparkle in his brilliant blue eyes. Society is all agog speculating if the two are more than just strangers.

Restoring the family name is not as important as protecting Lady Persephone, who is now in his enemy's crosshairs. A marriage of convenience binds the duke and his lady together, but duty is soon overshadowed by desire.

Will love triumph in this sweet tale of love and second chances?

Contains mature themes.

Couldn’t finish listening - tried speeding it up, but it only helped a little. The narrator does a bit better when speaking characters lines, but some of the pronunciations are terrible - Father becomes Fother for example - the diction is just painful to listen to and very off-putting. Fortunately, the book is available on Kindle Unlimited, so I’m reading it instead and it is a decent enough story with interesting characters. Some of the research is a bit ropey - for example, the term ‘fainting couch’ is a fairly modern, 20th century description. In the 1800s they used ‘day-bed’, or potentially ‘chaise longue’.
