His declaration of love to Edwina was so adorable - I was charmed (which after you read this book you will understand the significance of that statement). When he finally decides that he no longer wants to be logical about Edwina, he goes after her. It takes Michael a little while to figure out that he loves her - he knew he did, but it wasn't logical so he denied it.
But he has no idea how to get Edwina back, all of her reasons for leaving were perfectly logical and Michael is nothing if not logical. Michael is not happy that Edwina refuses his offer, but takes her advice and looks for an "appropriate woman" - the only problem is, none of them are Edwina.Įdwina leaves and Michael finally realizes that no other woman will ever do. When Michael proposes marriage, she declines, because she doesn't want another loveless marriage and because in this case she loves him and believes he will never return that love.
She loves him and can't bear the thought of him being blackmailed because of her. When Edwina's daughter is taken and Michael is basically blackmailed to get her back - Edwina decides to break things off with Michael and find another job. They engage in a HOT affair, each knowing that this will not last. But eventually they succumb to there mutual attraction and this is where the story really takes off. Edwina because she needs the job and Michael because he doesn't want to lose the best secretary he has ever had. He is very much alone and until he meets Edwina, was perfectly content with his life.Įdwina and Michael are attracted to each other, but try to ignore the sparks between them. He lives and breathes logic and reason and has no desire to socialize, be polite or involve himself with anyone. Michael is incredibly intelligent and has no patience for stupid people or to be more accurate, anyone who is not as smart as he is, which is just about everyone. With the help of her friend Carolyn who runs an employment agency - she finds work as a secretary to Michael, the Duke of Hadlow.
I really liked this book - it was a great addition to the series, but so loosely connected it could easily be a stand alone title.Įdwina is left penniless after her husband dies and is forced to find employment to support herself and her six year old daughter Gertrude (unfortunate name).
